OK, vinum is good. But my understanding is that you can't use vinum on your root partition. By Murphy's Law it always seems to be root that gets screwed up. And that also causes the biggest problems because then you have to yank the system apart and find another host disk for booting.
The root Filesytems doesn't really change. In general if you don't edit something in /etc or add accounts you can even be happy with a readonly /. I can't see any needs for mirrors beside that the host should keep running in case of a disk failure. A simple backup of the small /etc is sufficient.
You don't have to find a new / disk if you already created one. A mirror would allocate it anyway.
Nevertheless Greg showed me an df output with a mirrored / filesystem but as I usually have stone old drives (90M drives are more than enough ;) for / I never tried it myself because I don't own 2 identic of them. I don't know if it was plain vinum or some magic.
