What I need to know is whether the raid5 support in gvinum is solid, yet.
I would dearly love to move my desktop system from 4-stable to RELENG_5,
but I have two rather large vinum raid5 filesystems that I really need to
keep. Is anyone actually using raid5 with gvinum on RELENG_5? If so,
how stable is it? (The last I heard, there were still potential data
corruption problems, but I'm hoping that those have been fixed by now.)
