My understanding is that regular vinum won't work on 5.x, you need geom-vinum for that. Recent postings from Søren have lead me to believe that none of the ataraid stuff works with 5.x, either -- you can use them as plain ATA controllers, but the RAID stuff has not yet been worked out. That takes us back down to geom-vinum, geom-stripe, perhaps some SCSI RAID controllers which aren't affected by any of the ATA stuff, and maybe ccd. -- Brad Knowles, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
