Submit code is the standard answer. Vinum and now gvinum (I have not
tried the latter, your words) have never had reliable RAID-5
implementation. That is my experience only. Yes I am frustrated
about current state of FreeBSD and because of such state I'm forced
to use other OS's, for reliability reasons. For a person who's been
with FreeBSD since 2.0.5 that's sad future, but nevertheless I'm
unsubscribing from the remaining FreeBSD lists until things
(hopefully) improve and to save you all from further rants.
