Just in case: You shouldn't load old vinum and geom vinum at the same time. I don't know what happens, but Lukas told me I shouldn't do it. > Just did it on one machine and, yes, it worked. > That's not a statistically relevant base, though - YMMV ;-) I tried with a 2-disk-stripe and failed. Kernel panic right after loading geom_vinum. Lukas is analyzing the problem. Alot of people already switched to geom vinum, so this isn't a general bug. But if you try it be prepared for this case.
