But it could be a kernel compile option, such as NetBSD's and OpenBSD's RAIDFrame. I set up a server with NetBSD with the root partition on RAID the other day - works fine. Only problem is that I had to have the kernel in a non-RAID partition. In the case of vinum, I suppose one would have to have the kernel and modules on a non-RAID partition. That is, assumming Mr. Lehey add support for this. :-) Marco Radzinschi E-Mail: marco@radzinschi.com "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster.
