I was very happy to hear that FreeBSD finally had an alternative to vinum (other than ccd), especially one that was shared with some other *BSD platforms. I say this not because I don't have the greatest respect for Greg, but because I've had problems in the past with vinum in complex configurations (RAID-5, or anything combined with softupdates), and I feel that a little friendly competition would be a good thing. I have a 4-way PPro/200 fileserver downstairs that I hope to get installed very soon, and it's got twelve 18GB hard drives, plus a hardware RAID controller. I was hoping to re-do my previous FreeBSD software RAID benchmarking (see <http://www.shub-internet.org/brad/FreeBSD/vinum.html>) comparing ccd, vinum, RAIDframe, and the hardware controller all on the same machine. I'd be willing to make this machine a development & testing system for RAID code, although I am not a programmer and would not be able to hack it myself. I'll be glad to do what I can to help, if someone decides to take over the code. > All it needs > is one or two other people to share some of the work and testing > with me.
