Hi -hackers,

following the recent discussion about GEOM and Vinum I wrote some
proof-of-concept code, or rather, I copy'n'pasted the necessary stuff for
a prototype.  Of course it's ugly, it's buggy, it's by far not complete,
but at least it understands the most basic setup: a volume with a single
plex and a single subdisk.

This is how such a setup looks like:
<http://mailbox.univie.ac.at/~le/geomvinum.ps>;
(this is the actual output from sysctl -b kern.geom.confdot | dot -Tps).

And here's the code:
<http://mailbox.univie.ac.at/~le/geomvinum.tar.gz>.

You still need vinum(8) to configure the setup; when you're done, unload
vinum again and load geom_vinum.  Then you can access your volumes in
/dev/gvinum/.

regards,
le
