 I can see how crashes unrelated to vinum/softupdates might trash vinum
 filesystems.

Using RAID-5 under vinum was always a somewhat tricky business for me, but in many cases I could get it to work reasonably well most of the time. But if I enabled softupdates on that filesystem, I was toast. Softupdates enabled on filesystems that were not on top of vinum RAID-5 logical devices seemed to be fine.

So, the interaction that I personally witnessed was specifically between vinum RAID-5 and softupdates.
