Subject: ``how to'' for Vinum and mirroring after the volume was created?

Hi Greg,

I've got a question or two about vinum, and how to work it.

I'm trying to upgrade the storage on my home computer, and while I was
transitioning my old disks out, I only managed to get one of the new
ones online to copy data onto it.  Now I want to mirror that volume
onto a 2nd plex.  Attaching the plex to the volume and doing a vinum
start seemed to start a mirroring process, but it seemed to be reading
from both plexes in round robin to do the mirror!  This obviously
wasn't what I had hoped for.

The second question concerns the flag fields.  Is there any way to
change flags on the fly?  e.g. change the volume from being round
robin to prefer plex?

Lastly, what does vinum mean?

Thanks.
