vinum question

[Rex Roof]

i noticed the documentation hasn't been migrated to gvinum, though.

anyone have a config suggestion to stripe two mirrors?  I tried this:

drive diska device /dev/ad4s1a
drive diskb device /dev/ad6s1a
drive diskc device /dev/ad8s1a
drive diskd device /dev/ad12s1a

volume mirrorone
  plex org concat
    sd length 238475m drive diska
  plex org concat 
    sd length 238475m drive diskb

volume mirrortwo
  plex org concat
    sd length 238475m drive diskc
  plex org concat
    sd length 238475m drive diskd

volume mstripe
  plex org striped 512k
    sd length 238475m drive mirrorone
    sd length 238475m drive mirrortwo


without luck.   I also don't seem to be able to find a way to cleanly
shut down vinum and remove all configurations.   I've been testing
various raid configurations on FreeBSD6 and I've been working on
scripts to setup and test and take down vinum configurations.   I also
noticed that I can often crash my machine by doing things like:
gvinum rm -r diska
