Yes. Perhaps vinum is stable, but kernels past 5.2-RELEASE did
sometimes panic in vinum at bootup (for me). 5.2-RELEASE kernel
simply didn't boot with mirrored /usr filesystem. I will try the
upcoming 5.2.x if ready, but until then I'm still with Dec 21 kernel
which works reliably. I am not pointing to vinum at all, there has
been lots of other changes.
But as I need _reliable_ mirrored /usr, vinum seems to be out of
game again.
