Vinum to mirror also the swap ? Please explain what you are trying to 
achieve ?

I built a fully-mirrored machine (to check what the handbook said about 
booting from a mirrored root), but /tmp was still a simply striped partition 
(no mirror), like swap, where I left the OS swap manager use two partitions, 
like you could do when having two non-vinumed disks :
in /etc/fstab :
/dev/ad0s3b     none        swap    sw      0   0
/dev/ad2s3b     none        swap    sw      0   0

With this kind of setup, all important data are (suposed to be) written to 
both physical disks, and all remaining info will be lost in case of a 
failure.
