Any chance you would be willing to divulge what RSN means? Are we talking weeks or months? The Vinum web pages talk about possible approaches to doing this, but no approach was even singled out as the one to be used, so I didn't realize that any real coding had even started. I'm excited! Also, the original message says "2, non-boot drives". I thought that I could set up any partition as a Vinum virtual disk. Is it really restricted to an entire physical device? Thanks! R.
