Hi,
Is there any chance we could get either vinum or gvinum to the
reliability levels that vinum has had on 4.x before 5.4 gets out?
Now vinum does not start at boot time. Gvinum is still very
much promise-ware while missing resetconfig, etc. tools for
managing spindle configurations. Even gvinum man pages and
other gvinum documents are still missing.
It is making plain and relatively straight forward OS version
upgrades awfully hard, if people have to start rebuilding their
whole volume management environments as a part of the process.
Currently the only alternative seems to be taking the effort
to go over to using e.g. gmirror, etc.
Environments that have been using vinum for volume management
are now stuck with 4.11 for which support is busily degrading.
(= New drivers are not coming in. Ports support is becoming
sloppy, because ports administrators do not run 4.x themselves
any more.)
