What I would actually need to do would be create a new vinum filesystem, and then create all of my partitions (or, in this case, sib-partitions) on the vinum partition. Does that sound right? If so, that would explain the misunderstanding. Thank you again. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
