Ok then - is there an easy way to convert a live filesystem (minus root)
to vinum?  And is there any advantage to mirroring swap as well - or should
I just configure swap as an extra device on it's own until root support
is available? (since without root being mirrored we are only looking at read
performance benefits and not really increased system availablity).

I looked at Vinum before and kinda got lost in it - so a lay man's approach to
moving a system from single disk to mirrored would be appreciated.
