There is a lengthy thread about this in -current (which I sometimes read, but don't run). The situation seems to be: * swap is supported by geom in later 5.* releases. * Other types of disk usage are soon to be moved to geom. So vinum soon won't work for ufs either. * Vinum does not yet support geom, but should in due course. * No release 5.* release will be called "production" until it has a working software mirror system and upgrade path. Looks like downgrading to 5.1 (or even the current production release (4.9, soon to be 4.10)), is your best short-term option. Or do without mirrored swap. -- Adrian Wontroba The blood on the leading edge is often your own
