That's not a Vinum issue, but >somebody's working on it. Yes, I realized that and donned a pointy hat. Root (/) and OS specific files are of interest, but not as critical to me. There are other allowance one can make for redundancy. Beyond the scope of this discussion. >That's a good idea, I suppose. I'll do that. Done: >http://www.lemis.com/vinum/wishlist.html. Excellent! As for the root issue, #3 looks the most feasible, IMHO, and should eliminate the problems of #2 if the kernel's fs dies (unless it could try another drive) and yet would there not be an issue should the drive that does the bootstrapping die and the system rebooted. Small thing, not Vinum related, but at least things would keep going when a mirrored root fs lost a plex. The "snapshot" feature is interesting as well. Guess the logging changes is not a wish (yet) and is somewhat similar.
