yes, sadly its true, mirroring swap is broken in 5.2, because swap
moved under geom and vinum has no idea about geom.

you can mirror your filesystems as usual, but swap has to be
mounted via /dev/ad0s1b e.g.

le at freebsd.org is working hard on integrating vinum and geom, 
he is always looking for testers :-)
