Just in case: You shouldn't load old vinum and geom vinum at the same time.
I don't know what happens, but Lukas told me I shouldn't do it.

I tried with a 2-disk-stripe and failed. Kernel panic right after loading
geom_vinum. Lukas is analyzing the problem. Alot of people already switched
to geom vinum, so this isn't a general bug. But if you try it be prepared
for this case.

Bye,
Alexander.
