vinum *is* a (logical) volume manager.  You don't have to use RAID at all,
but it's easy enough to do.  Resize is currently broken, but lulf@ I think
was working on that.  There are many things I don't like about LVM at all,
particularly in the naming and how impossible it is to setup a root mirror
at install (or even mirror whole disks).
