Hi! I'm supposed to mirror 2 similar disk drives using FreeBSD 5.3 The thing is, I am confused which utility to use: vinum, gvinum, or geom. As I understand it, geom is still fairly new but very promising. Vinum, on the other hand, seems to be stable but not as extensible as geom. Gvinum seems to be mixture of the two. Personally, I would like to try out gvinum or geom but I don't know if these two would be suitable for production environments. Now, my questions are: 1. Is gvinum mature enough for production environments? 2. Is geom mature enough for production environments? 3. Which among the three, vinum, gvinum or geom should you recommend? thanks in advance!
