It's a kernel module and yes, it=20 requires an initial "normal" install. You cannot use a vinum volume to=20 boot off (YET), so your root partition might require special treatment=20 if resilience is what you want. For user data you can easily concat more than one physical disks=20 (raid-o). Vinum can also do raid-1 and raid-5. See www.vinumvm.org for more info =20 > single logical drive?

For Windows, there's=20 samba, for Macs Appletalk?
