I actually thought of that a while ago (unrelated to this). I read the vinum-page in the handbook, assume this is still valid. I recall a discussion regarding it's (re)naming to gvinum, but don't see any mention of it so gvinum is no longer used I guess. Are there any performance-issues doing striping by FreeBSD. I actually have two unused LUN's, each with two 2 TB volumes, so I can stripe the first volume in the first LUN with the first volume in the second LUN and the second volume etc. so I distribute the load on as many disks as possible. As far as I know a vinum-volume don't have the same 2 TB sizelimitation as disklabel and newfs has, but will I be able to newfs? The handbook refers to newfs -v when making a new fs, but I can't find -v in man newfs, man 8 vinum says: Just run newfs(8). Use the -v option to state that the device is not divided into partitions... The example uses the -U (enable softupdates) parameter instead: # newfs -U /dev/vinum/mirror regards Claus _______________________________________________ freebsd-performance@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-performance To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
