Yes, I'd actually expect a documentation improvement considering how messy it is the first approach to gvinum based on the current documentation still available on the net (no longer on FBSD handbooks), NOT the only official docs to be gone for good! I'm spending a very long time building/destroing things to understand how to operate with it. Coming from Linux LVM, Veritas FS and ZFS .... I though I wouldn't have such a problems in getting acquainted with it. Sadly, I was wrong.
