With the recently implemented BIO delaying in gvirstor (that is, IO=20
requests will be delayed unconditionally when there's not enough=20
physical space in the virstor device, until more providers are added), I =

think gvirstor is ready to be committed to the CVS tree.

So, interested people are encouraged to test it once again, and see if=20
they can break it in new and exciting ways  :)

gvirstor is available as a simple tarball at=20
http://wiki.freebsd.org/gvirstor (read the README before trying) and in=20
the Perforce (branch ivoras_gvirstor).

If all turns out well, I'll find someone to get it committed.

(gvirstor is a geom "overcommit" class - allows creation of virtual=20
storage devices of arbitrary sizes backed by limited physical storage.=20
It has been sponsored by Google in Google Summer of Code 2006.)

gvirstor currently works on both 6-STABLE and 7-CURRENT.
