I run soft updates, they are nice and, it seems, very stable. I guess Vinum isn't a way to go for me if it has problems with soft updates. Perhaps, one way to handle mirroring drives would be to: 1. recreate slices by hand 2. copy boot record (or create new one just by putting the boot loaded onto the second drive) 3. run dump|restore on filesystems. Speaking of dump|restore: would it have problems with things changing the live filesystem as it's copying it? What is the right way to go about doing this?
