Hi. I may implement (g)vinum to stripe two 2 TB raid 5 volumes into a single 4 TB vinum-volume. The volumes reside on a atabeast doing the raid 5. The server is a 5.4 RC2 doing nfs on i386.
According to some threads gvinum may not be completely stable (in 5.3, http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/current/2004-11/0537.html) when doing raid 5 but works fine when striping. Should I go vinum or gvinum? Will newfs have problems with a 4 TB volume? Are there any performance-degradation doing striping? According to the vinum-pages in the handbook a vinum-volume should be formatted with the -v parameter, but -v is not in man 8 newfs. regards Claus _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
