hi all, i want to use vinum with some removable ( e.g. usb2 ) hard disks. i want to use vinum because : it lets me create as many appropriately sized volumes as i need ; and, it doesn't matter whether the disk connects as da0 or da1 since vinum uses it's own label. my question is, will vinum comfortably handle more than one disk where there is an equal chance that none, one or more will be online at any one time. if i plug in a disk, will i need to "restart" or "bring up" or whatever the disk, or the plex etc every time a disk comes back online? if so, what is the smallest set of commands i can use to do this? note that i only intend to run single plexes ( no mirrors or raid 5 ) where all subdisks reside on the same physical disk. any thoughts or experiences appreciated. thanx, siegfried.
