Announcing the initial release of an OpenBSD port of Vinum. Vinum is a
volume manager written by Greg Lemis for FreeBSD. It also does RAID 0,
1, and 5. This port is based on the NetBSD port by Atul Kabra,
Ramsubramanyam and Shajid Thirvuthodi of Infosys Technologies, which Greg
passed on to me.
This is a preliminary effort. Some of the code may change due to cleanup,
but I've tried to avoid making unnecessary changes to keep the code
bases similar. This patch only covers i386. Other archs require tweaking
conf.c and changing the ?MAJOR numbers in vinumvar.h. This is a problem
that needs to be solved before integration.
All you server types are encouraged to hammer on this. I don't have the
hardware to really make this interesting; that's your job. There are two
pieces to download and you need new -current to play. You will need to
rebuild libutil, disklabel, and some other tools. Don't disklabel the
volume, just newfs it.
There is more documentation available concerning how to use vinum at
www.vinumvm.org.
