    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.)
