Having used Vinum is production and on home boxes for some time, and having come in contact with Raidframe on NetBSD several times, I would distill this to several points. - Vinum is fairly fragile and a number of operations have vastly non-obvious steps. - Vinum's support for different types of RAID is limited. - Vinum's abstractions don't work for more complex cases. That said, we need a strong and robust software raid.
