    Hi Ceri,

    sorry for the late reply, I don't follow stable@ directly, so if
    there's any vinum question, please add a cc: to <le@freebsd.org>
    (those messages will get highlighted so I have a chance to notice them
    earlier).

    Your config looks sane enough that it shouldn't be a problem to switch
    to gvinum. Edit your fstab and put

    geom_vinum_load="YES"

    into /boot/loader.conf, that's enough.

    cheers,
    le
