Hello,

I've got a friend that wants to use a FreeBSD box for a file server. He has a
huge pile of drives of different sizes, but he wants them all as one big file
system. What's the appropriate tool for this? gstripe doesn't seem like it'd
be smart to use with differently-sized drives. Is gvinum up to snuff and
stable enough to use? Is ccd still supported? What would be your tool of
choice?

Thanks,

Josh

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor
do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger
is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either
a daring adventure, or nothing.
