Hello. I'm about to install a new machine which will have 2 IDE-disks. I'd like to mirror some volumes between those disks while other volumes should be striped. I'd like to do this with FreeBSD 5.1. There's no data on the disks that I want/have to keep. Is it at all possible to configure Vinum and then install FreeBSD or will I have to install FreeBSD first and then "convert" to Vinum-volumes by manually editing the disklabel (with bsdlabel), calculating offsets etc.? In other words, is there an easy way to do this? :) (I already tried installing FreeBSD and then "converting" to Vinum but failed miserably and am now looking for an easy way out.) -- Eivind Olsen eivind@aminor.no
