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 at 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,
