good point, probably it is much easier as thought to integrate as script into the installer where one can chose the disks/partitions to gmirror/gstripe them and put it beside other options in "Startup Options" I never felt the need and probably would not use the option either and will configure my config manually later as I do with named or others > > So in comparism > > the easy use of geom is great and the people which developed geom did a > > really fantastic job. > > I agree, as the geom based applications are maturing, we are starting to > see that benefit of the geom infrastructure. > for me this happened already. I use gmirror for almost a year now and I changed all vinum setups and I never had a serious problem with it. I have to say that I never tried IDE or SATA, only SCSI with Adaptec.
