It's a kernel module and yes, it requires an initial "normal" install. You cannot use a vinum volume to boot off (YET), so your root partition might require special treatment if resilience is what you want. For user data you can easily concat more than one physical disks (raid-o). Vinum can also do raid-1 and raid-5. See www.vinumvm.org for more info > single logical drive?

For Windows, there's samba, for Macs Appletalk?
