On these drives are several concat-plexes. Nothing here violates the requirements for the GEOM-based vinum, if your old vinum-type partitions don't start with an offest of "0" (zero) within the slice (da0/da1) or disk (ad0) respectively. *If* that's the case (i.e. Offset of 0 for the vinum partitions), you have a problem indeed but otherwise I would not expect any problems. -- Ciao/BSD - Matthias Matthias Schuendehuette <msch [at] snafu.de>, Berlin (Germany) PGP-Key at <pgp.mit.edu> and <wwwkeys.de.pgp.net> ID: 0xDDFB0A5F
