Handbook obsolescence scan: "The vinum Volume Manager"

[Frank Leonhardt]

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.
