It's mirroring everything except swap, which I vaguely recall might not have worked. I believe with -CURRENT that vinum might not work right, and gvinum might be the only option. Then again I could be wrong :-) When 5.2 is released gvinum should be the default, and should hopefully be in a finished state.
