I see! Well I shalln't even bother to continue trying then. I'm a little 
hesitant to convert it all to something else, as there's always the 
possibility that  something won't work quite right and I will have to go 
back to FreeBSD. Then it gets even more difficult getting the data back 
off and back on to vinum. Well, from what I can tell anyway. NetBSD's 
software RAID appears to be RAIDFrame? AFAIK 4.11 doesn't support that, 
and NetBSD doesn't support vinum.. so I would be a little stuck :-)

Unless someone has a really good idea, it looks like if I want to give 
it a go I may have to invest in another disk(s) and just copy the data 
off the array and over to a NetBSD native slice. I suppose I *could* 
pull and use one of the disks from the vinum RAID-1 array, but, it was 
only fairly recently set up, and I don't quite trust either of the disks 
yet :-)

Anyhow, thanks for that info! I had no idea it was recently removed.
