FreeBSD-CURRENT is designed for discussions about (wait for it) FreeBSD-CURRENT. It is not an appropriate forum for this question. You've already sent a (different) question on this subject to -questions. That's the correct place, so I'm sending it back there. > vinum - is this volume management such like vold in solaris ?

Currently.

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. In any case, it depends on your requirements. You can create a file system with just about everything from the root file system except the kernel, and mount that on a Vinum volume. That would be easier than what you propose, and since the kernel file isn't needed too much after booting, it would give you a pretty good resilience. > Is it advantageous to be running vinum ? There are advantages to running vinum, otherwise it wouldn't exist. Only you can determine whether it's right for you. > Is there any documentation other than the manpages on this, i.e > html. ?
