To clarify the things out of my point of view: gvinum on 5.3-RELEASE seems to work fine as a LVM (LogicalVolumeManager) and for striping (RAID-0) and mirroring (RAID-1). It does *not* work for *writing* on RAID5-volumes in UP (SingleProcessor) environments due to a bug which was fixed too late for 5.3-RELEASE. I'm not aware of any statistics about the use of (g)vinum - but for users of (g)vinum RAID5-Volumes in UP-environments 5.3-RELEASE *is* problematic. Greg remains right here IMHO. RAID5 under 5.3-RELEASE (UP) only works with 'classic' vinum if loaded *after* the system has come up. Perhaps this posting could be a template for the ERRATA entry... :-) -- Ciao/BSD - Matthias Matthias Schuendehuette <msch [at] snafu.de>, Berlin (Germany) PGP-Key at <pgp.mit.edu> and <wwwkeys.de.pgp.net> ID: 0xDDFB0A5FReceived on Sun Nov 07 2004 - 09:24:39 UTC
