Are you using vinum Raid5 ? I'm considering rolling back to 5.1 myself if
someone attests that things "just work" there with R5, then waiting for
gvinum to mature before getting my machine back on stable.

Also, when did vinum stop working in favor of gvinum? is it with 5.3?
Could I expect 5.2.1 to work? Pardon the barrage of questions, but it
would take me hours to test each case, so if anyone knows, drop me a line.
Thanks!
