I don't know about a problem with vinum and -current (I have one
-current system with a vinum-stripe). The only drawback: you can't use a
vinum partition as a native swap partition (failure tolerant swap by
mirroring), but since your scenario doesn't include such a setup, I
don't see a problem (and even then: create an ufs partition and
configure a swap file on it).
Vinum isn't GEOMified yet, but work is underway to do this.
Bye,
Alexander.
