Did you get the tarball from ftp.lemis.com, and which one did you get? 2. Did you follow the instructions in the README. It says in there that you are supposed to cd /usr/src and then untar the files there. Take a look at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/vinum/README As far as stability, I haven't heard much trouble with it. I'm using vinum but only for concatenation. Personally I think, even if you are mirroring, you should still do backups anyway. :) -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel Malament [SMTP:danielm@j51.com] > Sent: Thursday, June 03, 1999 2:41 PM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: vinum installation > > Hey all.
