Hi, Is there any chance we could get either vinum or gvinum to the reliability levels that vinum has had on 4.x before 5.4 gets out? Now vinum does not start at boot time. Gvinum is still very much promise-ware while missing resetconfig, etc. tools for managing spindle configurations. Even gvinum man pages and other gvinum documents are still missing. It is making plain and relatively straight forward OS version upgrades awfully hard, if people have to start rebuilding their whole volume management environments as a part of the process. Currently the only alternative seems to be taking the effort to go over to using e.g. gmirror, etc. Environments that have been using vinum for volume management are now stuck with 4.11 for which support is busily degrading. (= New drivers are not coming in. Ports support is becoming sloppy, because ports administrators do not run 4.x themselves any more.) // jau
