And one of these days (tm) I'll look at the info the Promise Fasttrak puts on the disk, so its possible to take over that setup with either ccd or vinum, but time is limitted as usual, and since its not a "real" RAID solution I'd rather see vinum be able to be used for booting, since it (or ccd) will have to be used anyways.... -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
