Last I checked, doing so is dangerous because by default the userland components of vinum have debugging on which is incompatible with a kernel running vinum without debug (the default when linked in). So you must also relink your vinum utilities without debug and install them or you won't be able to use vinum. I hope to work with Greg soon to resolve this, if it hasn't already been fixed. -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
