I remember reading this and the gmirror stuff at the same time and wondering what it was all about. Whilst I'm generally not in favour of chucking stuff out of a manual if it exists on the ground, at the very least this could do with a sanity warning. At the time I had no way of knowing whether one method or the other was deprecated. I suppose I made a lucky guess.

Next on the list of potentially outdated things in the Handbook: "The vinum Volume Manager", a whole chapter on vinum. Actually, it is really now about gvinum.

Are there any situations where new users should be advised to use gvinum rather than ZFS or gconcat/gstripe/gmirror?

What reasons are there for this chapter to remain in the Handbook given the newer, simpler alternatives?

If the information should remain, why should it be separate from the GEOM chapter?
