That's right. There's no way for Vinum to determine if a partition which doesn't belong to it is correct or not. Right from the beginning, though, the man page said: DRIVE LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS vinum drives are currently BSD disk partitions. They must be of type vinum in order to avoid overwriting file systems. For compatibility rea- sons, vinum currently accepts partitions of type unused, but the next re- lease will not allow this kind of partition. > PS : I'm contemplating a RAID-5 partition on my new BP6 (is there a > tutorial somewhere ?)
