No, vinum is a KLD, a dynamically loaded kernel module. See vinum(4),
"KERNEL CONFIGURATION
vinum is currently supplied as a kernel loadable module (kld), and does
not require configuration. As with other klds, it is absolutely neces-
sary to match the kld to the version of the operating system. Failure to
do so will cause vinum to issue an error message and terminate.
It is possible to configure vinum in the kernel, but this is not recom-
mended. To do so, add this line to the kernel configuration file:
pseudo-device vinum"
A kernel rebuild is _NOT_ required and the docs actually recommend
that it not be done.
