I've been playing around with Vinum the last couple of days and I have a question concerning failure of the root partition. I understand the value that Vinum can bring for RAID0 (striping) to increase volume size and performance. However, I don't really see any value in the mirroring capabilities if Vinum cannot mirror the root partition. Could some give me a brief rundown of how to recover the data from a mirrored drive (partition) if the primary drive fails and the FreeBSD config is lost? Perhaps point me to some reading I should absorb. (Little more specific than man vinum please :) I have read the Bootstrapping Vinum article - and I appreciate what it accomplishes, but I want to address this issue from a pure Vinum setup - no fancy perl boot scripts.
