Probably one of the most important things that=20 with vinum as example it was not possible to mirror a root partition but=20 since gmirror places the metadata different we can have now a mirrored and= =20 bootable root partition. Striping with ccd and vinum or mirroring was=20 certainly a pain even if it worked then stable and reliable. So in comparis= m=20 the easy use of geom is great and the people which developed geom did a=20 really fantastic job.
