I would like to apologise for the missleading comment I made about vinum and using 4 18 gig drives with vinum. In teaching myself the software I have been using 4 18 gig drives in serveral configurations including striping, striping/mirroring and raid 5. in each situation I had to wait a long time to init the volumes and newfs because of their great size. I also took drives out of the vinum volume to simulate failures so that I could learn how to restore from failure. I have had no problems with vinum using mirroring or striping. In fact I am impressed with the speed. the only problems I have had were with raid 5 and doccumented on the vinum web site. Again I did not mean to imply there was a problem with vinum or using 18 gig drives with it.
