does vinum configuration need to be located in the beginning of the drive after bootstrap or is it possible to store at the end of the drive ? the reason I ask is I only have 60kb available in the beginining and the first partition is /. I should be able to shrink swap, which is at the end of the drive, but I'm not sure I understand how vinum stores it's configuration. Does there need to be a separate partition for vinum that has at least enough space for configuration, which doesn't overlap with anything else ? Is the rest of vinum partition supposed to overlap with everything that I want to configure as a plex ( I'm talking about mirroring exisiting partitions ) Or should there be 2 different vinum partitions, one for configuration and another one for plexes ? I'd appreciate any suggestions. thanx you all
