Because metatool was missing and the tools for editing volume manager
metadata changed between $oldversion and 9.0.  I gave up and learned the
new command-line utilities.

It boiled down to needing RAID and needing RAID -right- -then-.  I
thought it'd be easier to pointy-clicky my way to a temporary RAID to
handle a failing server's data, but the management tool was so damned
slow that I was able to read & understand the new man pages before it
even loaded the metadata editor.
