RAID5 sync after creation is pretty typical. I think it many cases it's unnecessary, but the current gvinum code does perform a sync-after-create for raid5. > have no chance to encrypt it with geli, am i right? With the patch lulf@ just committed, you should be able to geli a raid5 volume under gvinum. You may have to wait for it to be MFC'd if you're not using HEAD (FreeBSD-CURRENT). You could also apply his patch to your source code and rebuild from /usr/src/sbin/gvinum/ and it should work for you. -- Rick C. Petty
