Since 5.3 you should probably use the geom-aware gvinum instead of vinum.

Any hints as to how I make this migration? Is it as simple as putting
geom_vinum_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf, or is there further configuration
to do? Is gvinum happy with the same configuration data as vinum? Presumably
device names are different so I'll have to change /etc/fstab accordingly?
I've never tried it so I'm not sure how to migrate from vinum to gvinum,
check the handbook and ask google.
But my gut feeling about it is that it will probably not be that easy,
g(vinum) has a way of causing headaches..
