I read them, made 2 volumes, both consisting of 1 plex and 2 subdisks.
Newfs'ed it, copied some data, added to /etc/fstab, added drives to
/etc/rc.conf... rebooted and ... "vinum: no drives found" 
So I tried one more time with same results...

Advantages seem to become obvious with more than 2 drives, but I saw one
disadvantage - I could not just use the whole drive, but have to
explicitly state how many megs the subdisk has.
