Vinum is a Logical Volume Manager that was introduced in %%FreeBSD%% 3.0, and for %%FreeBSD%% 5 was ported to geom(4) as [[GEOM/Gvinum|gvinum]]. gvinum has had no specific development at least as far back as 2010, and has a number of known bugs which are unlikely to be resolved. We plan to mark it deprecated in %%FreeBSD%% 13, and remove it in %%FreeBSD%% 14, if it does not attract a maintainer.
