 Shh.  Don't say vinum too loudly...it will wake Greg up.

*sigh* It's back on line now.  Take a look at
http://www.lemis.com/grog/diary-feb2003.html#20 for the background.
In addition, it seems that one of the offsite NSs is lame; I don't
understand why dns.itworks.com.au didn't answer, however.

Vinum, concantination and filesystems

2003-02-22 Thread David Feig
Can I do this:

I want to create a new filesystem that I can grow and/or mirror later 
by adding more drives without losing my existing data.

I have been reading about Vinum but haven't found anything about 
growing filesystems without losing data. I am talking about some like 
Partition Magic.

I have done a bit of searching for 'growable' filesystems under FreeBSD 
but I haven't been able to find much of anything about anything besides 
ufs.

Also, I can't seem to get dns resolution for the Vinum website. Have 
these guys not been paying their bills? (www.vinumvm.org)

You might take a look at growfs.

There isn't a growable filesystem so to speak, although in certain conditions 
growfs can grow a ufs file system.
