The *only* thing that vinum can't (conveniently) do is mirror the root partition. However, rsync plus a 2-line shell script and a cron job can handle that task. Just to let you know ahead of time, vinum seems terribly complex the first time you try to use it, but it's really not that difficult. Work through the examples and you'll be running in mirrored (or RAID-5'ed) glory in no time. -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est.
