Log:
Replace reference from vinum.8 to gvinum.8, it was advised in the PR to
replace this with vinum.4, but that's the kernel interface manual, which
is not appropriate in my understanding. I think that gvinum is a suitable
replacement for this.

Thanks! > > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=121938 > In newfs(8) the main (and maybe only) reason to call a reference on vinum(4) was the deprecated usage of "newfs -v " (Releases < 5.x) to create a UFS file system on a vinum volume. That reference is still there in vinum(4) with insufficient wording, it should say it is valid only for Releases < 5.x. Section 20.7.1 is also confusing on this matter invoking the same usage of newfs to show the wrong and right way of creating a file system on a vinum(4) volume. Using gvinum(8) does not help to understand how to use newfs(8) to create a new UFS file system on a vinum(4) volume. Therefore, I do not see the point on calling a reference to gvinum(8) in newfs(8). At least not with this version of gvinum(8). If the reference to vinum(4) in newfs(8) is not desirable then it should be glabel(8), which advises the right way of using newfs(8) to create a file system on a vinum volume. If you agree on: a) removing vinum(x) from newfs(8) references; b) adding glabel(8) to newfs(8) references; then I can submit a patch for newfs(8), vinum(4) and Section 20.7.1 with the right text, for your approval/rejection. Please, advise. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!

I need more sleep. *The Handbook Section 20.7.1 needs clean up. It is not clear which usages of newfs(8) there is the correct. *The suggested gvinum(8) replacement for vinum(4) in newfs(8) does not really contribute to newfs(8). *The vinum(4) needs a modification in sub-section MAKING FILE SYSTEMS. . ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
