If I have a system where the /usr partition is a vinum mirror, I've found that I can't boot into single user mode and use the passwd command - because I can't mount the vinum partition. passwd is in /usr/bin so I need to mount the /usr part, but vinum doesn't start in single-user mode and when I try to start it I get an error ... (sorry ... have forgotten the error and I don't have a vinum machine available to reproduce it at this time. If it becomes important, I'll make it a point to get the exact message) Is the upshot of the whole thing that /usr shouldn't be a vinum volume because of this? Is there a technique whereby half of a vinum mirror could be restored to a standard FFS partition? (sounds pretty wild, but I thought I'd ask.)
