I was wondering about the status of gvinum in 5.3. I seem to remember that there were a lot of problems with gvinum in 5.3, but searching around, I can't seem to find anything that says for sure one way or the other.
I'm just trying to seperate the FUD from the reality. Is there anywhere that has the status? Anyone using gvinum that can say how reliable it is or isn't? I understand that there are GEOM classes available that have some of the functionality of vinum that I could use instead, but there are two reasons that these aren't an option for me. 1) I'm wanting to migrate 4.X machines with existing vinum volumes to 5, and I'd rather not dump/restore. 2) There is at least one feature that vinum has that I don't see in any GEOM class, that I'm using. That is the ability to add subdisks and use growfs to enlarge filesystems without having to dump/restore. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
