I have a question about how vinum effects access to file systems. When i have a vinum volume on a drive which contains the file system /usr, which is being mirrored to another volume on another drive, are the contents of /usr encompassed in the volume (like a partition) or is the volume just a part of /usr. Basically i want to have a RAID-1 setup that mirrors the information on one drive to another. If i do this will i be able to access all the files on the first hard drive as though it was just a regular partition. If so how do i partition, is there something special i have to do at the partition editor when i install? Do i need subdisks and plexes just to mirror the file systems' data? Sorry if this is a bad question but the handbook has me a little confused. Thanks a lot.
