messy it is the first approach to gvinum based on the current
documentation still available on the net (no longer on FBSD handbooks),
NOT the only official docs to be gone for good!

I'm spending a very long time building/destroing things to understand

though I wouldn't have such a problems in getting acquainted with it.
Sadly, I was wrong.
