Splitting the article, or merging as new section on raid article
[edit]Both the "Overview" and "Software RAID vs. Hardware RAID" sections contain general information about RAID, which do not fix well into the context of Vinum article. They should be integrated into Redundant_array_of_independent_disks or similar categories.
Also, more vinum specific details are also required. E.g. history of (g)vinum, architectural design of (g)vinum, terminology, RAID organisation supported etc.

Don't create a new page Hardware RAID compared to Software RAID. Just merge the section into RAID, the topic is already covered there. --Kubanczyk 16:27, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
A search for "vinum," a latin term meaning "wine" brought me straight to this page. Can this topic be split from the real vinum?

I agree with either aproach:
- Split the "section(s) in question" to it's own article -- anything that doesn't relate to the vinum BSD project shouldn't be here... (or)
- (kinda) related info could be summarized, with "link to a main article" on raid or whatever (as opposed to new article)

I feel Software RAID should be separated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.71.44.64 (talk) 00:07, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
Software RAID should be seperated, because it is completly different to Hardware based RAID, and linking the two provides a false insight into both Hardware RAID and Software RAID - Lynx —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.175.226.246 (talk) 13:32, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
I believe Software vs. Hardware RAID is an important topic to cover within the main RAID article - this section (at least) should be moved. - Dc —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.29.192.102 (talk) 22:42, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Material has been merged into RAID at RAID#Volume_manager_support in November 2010 following the above request, and the article title redirected to RAID#Vinum - over time the Vinum section was edited and renamed Volume_manager_support, so the redirect was no longer precise. The material from here remains in the RAID article, though the redirect has been undone, revealing the material and the material is possibly now duplicated. People may wish to discuss the question of merging or splitting this article once again, or perhaps returning the material in RAID back into this article. I have no opinion either way, though I have removed the old merge and split request tags as they apply to a situation that has changed. Any new merge or split request will require fresh tags to take into account the current situation. SilkTork ✔Tea time 16:31, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
