I recently converted a vinum boot mirror to gvinum on a FreeBSD STABLE box. The mirror was initially setup using the information on Greg Lehey's "The Complete Freebsd" book, resulting in everything being mirrored on my boot drive, including the swap partition. While trying to get up to speed with the whole gvinum/vinum debacle, I recently came across a post suggesting that if one was using a gvinum based swap partition, a particular entry was required in a configuration file. For the life of me, I can't find this specific post again, (I think it was on one of the freebsd mailing lists), and I don't remember either the specific entry, or whether it referred to loader.conf or rc.conf. I know the above is pretty vague, but if anyone can tell me what needs to be set (if anything), other than placing: geom_vinum_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Lapo
