Is anyone running FreeBSD on a Mac Mini Intel?
I've looked around for a definitive discussion on the topic but
couldn't find anything on this list or Google at least.
I'd like to replace a couple of relatively high power-consuming
servers with a couple of Mac Mini Intel's. For my purposes
One thing you might consider is that gvinum is quite flexible.
The subdisks in vinum that make up a raid 5 plex are partitions.
This means you can create raid 5 sets without using each entire disk
and the disks don't need to be the same model or size. It's also
handy for spares. If you

Could anyone offer some guidance on how under 6.1 I can move 3 gvinum

There is an old post

That covers pretty much what I am doing. In my case I have 6.1 i386

I'd rather run 5 SATA cables then one SCSI cable (say 68pin) with
multiple heads... The darn SCSI cables are so thick,
comparatively, that running them in your case is a lot harder :-)
Well everyone's mileage may vary. Parallel cables only work nicely
when you have a stack of
Hi Chris,
I have many of the same questions. SATA is plenty fast for home
systems and modern drives are smoking stuff that was enterprise class
just a few years ago. 'twas ever thus.
Cables are a nightmare IMHO. This was by far the reason I've been a
big fan of SCSI for a long time.
Robert,
I think I already sent out this link that documents FreeBSD R5
performance:

I recently saw an article documenting similar benchmarks using geom
and vinum in a Japanese FreeBSD magazine and the handbook section
around vinum does warn about
I have been uable to get vinum to work under 6.0. I'm no expert though.
Vinum became gvinum in 6.0 and is implemented using geom.
Recently the gvinum man page has been updated and it available in 6.1
RC-1.
I think if you want mirroring only you should consult the geom pages. It
seems as
I just moved my 6.0 Release from one slice to another. The procedure is
similar. You could look at my response to expanding a partition, same
idea. So relocating a copy of 6.0 (at least) works OK for booting.

I'm guessing that bios is ignored pretty

Same thing.
Choice of boot manager?
Doesn't the -B option just install the standard boot manager?

If you have extra disk space it's fairly straightforward to use dump/
restore and re-partition.
I recently found myself desiring to re-slice my disk from a single
slice to 5 slices.
The basics were to dump the contents of my root, var, and usr
partitions to 3 files on another disk. I
Hi folks,
Well I think I'm out of ideas in my experience with gvinum. I need
some help.
I cannot get gvinum to work for me at all in setting up a raid5
set. This is the first FreeBSD gizmo that I've run into that has
proven dangerously unreliable. Each time I use it I get a panic,
