IMO, it would be better to make the changes so that the kernel components of vinum are built with debugging turned on, so that they are compatible with the userland components. For someone that is working with vinum in this period of time, and contemplating using it as a built-in part of the kernel, I do not believe that this would be too hard. Of course, I would not do this on a normal basis, just during the current difficulties while certain bugs are tracked down and fixed. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
