Re: Improvements to gvinum and it's future

Hi,

I've been working this summer to improve gvinum, and add features from old vinum
into the geom version of vinum. Lukas Ertl have done a fantastic amount of work
on it (and Chris Jones) since it started, but it's not complete. So far, I've
completed many of the missing commands such as attach/detach, setstate stop, and
other commands (The manpage lists most of them). I've also implemented basic
functionality of drivegroups, which provides grouping of drives with the same
configuration, and sort of acts as a drivepool that abstract drives further, and
it can simplify volume management for larger systems.

This all sounds very good.

However, although many of these features maybe needs more testing,
some of them also belongs in HEAD, but since I am not a committer, I
need someone to help me get these changes into the tree. The reason
for this is largely that le@ has not been visible for a couple of
months, so the one person actually maintaining gvinum is not
available. So therefore I ask for someone else to help me with this.

OK, I'll do what I can. We can take this offline, I think.

My first set of patches are available in PR 99183, 99186 and more is
coming from the perforce repository as soon as I'm able to split
them up.

The web site is currently so broken that I don't use it. Also,
freefall has just been rebooted, and for some reason Emacs is missing,
so I can't look at the files there either. Could you send me the
patches, please?
