Please don't reply to different threads when you want to ask a new
question.  See http://www.lemis.com/email/email-format.html for more
details.

> What's the best way to restore a vinum sub-disks?

You shouldn't.  You restore file systems, not Vinum objects, and they
should be associated with volumes, not subdisks.

These look like file system names.  You shouldn't be giving names like
that to subdisks.

> Particularly worried about restoring / and /usr. What's the process?

I think you need to explain your question first.  If you're asking
about how to restore files to a file system, that has nothing to do
with Vinum, but since it's documented, I'm not sure what the question
is.
