However, I am still not sure about the following two things: (1) What does the count in "pseudo-device vn count" stand for? My guess is that if it is 2, then we can use /dev/vn0x and /dev/vn1x. If it is 1, then we can only use /dev/vn0x. The x stands for one of those eight partitions [a-h] in one slice. (2) For /dev/vn0[a-h], which one from a-h should I use for which purpose? Any help is appreciated. -------------------------------------------------- Zhihui Zhang.
