Hello, On our next file server, I want to make one large FTP area out of 4 drives = (so=20 that system sees them as one volume). Vinum appears to be exactly what I=20 need. I haven't worked with Vinum previously, but hear a lot about it. My questio= n=20 is how to implement the above (unite four drives into single volume) using= =20 Vinum, and what will happen if let's say one drive fails in volume? Am I=20 loosing the whole data, or I can just unplug the drive, tell vinum to use=20 remaining drives with the data each drive holds? I'm not looking for fault= =20 tolerance solution. =46rom my understanding, in above scenario, Vinum will first fill up the fi= rst=20 drive, then second, etc. I have read the handbook articles, and I got general understanding of Vinum. I'm particularly interested to know if I will still be able to use volume i= n=20 case of failed drive. Some minimal configuration examples would be greatly appreciated! Server will be running FreeBSD-4.10. regards, M.
