All Vinum drives have two copies of the configuration.  They would all
have to fail before you lose the configuration.

Can you be a bit more specific?  Are you trying to move data from one
system to another?  "Vinum partitions" are not the way to look at
things: a vinum partition doesn't need to have any Vinum data on it,
for example.

I suppose you mean the root file system.  There shouldn't be any
difference, but that depends on exactly what you want to do.  Can you
explain in terms of volumes and plexes?
