I'm currently working on getting gvinum a bit up to date to support the old vinum features, but I still have some commands to implement before it's complete. A lot of this is only in perforce right now, until someone can commit it for me. Gvinum is not just a software-raid tool. It's a volume manager, and should be updated to support more advanced volume-manager features. Right now it maintains it's own raid 0,1 and 5 implementations, and this kind of duplicates maintanance a bit. Rewriting gvinum to use the new geom classes would be nice, but it's a lot of work. -- Mvh Ulf Lilleengen
