That's true - I had forgotten about that.  Note the disclaimer. :)

Hey, speaking of logical volume management, what are the chances of ever
seeing a software-based solution for striping, concatenating, and
mirroring of filesystems?  It needn't be full-blown RAID, but it sure

Have you seen the disk suite for Solaris 2.4?  Something along those
lines would be neat.
