Believing that vinum has no place on the desktop (in the worstation, if you will) is believing that either: a) you don't need storage at the desktop b) you don't need the storage management facilities that vinum provides are not needed on the desktop (consider that in the matter of months, the smallest available hdd will be at least 18gb) c) you don't need the speed/reliability options vinum provides on the desktop. As storage costs almost nothing (see b) you might just as well make sure it doesnt't go away or is faster. I don't think any of these are warranted. > > --Jay > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
