I'm doing some testing in 6.0, and something strange is happening:

1) uname -a
=46reeBSD  6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Nov  3 09:36:13 UTC 2005=
    =20
root@x64.samsco.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

2) I build a stripe set using 'gvinum create' and the following config:
drive dr3 device /dev/ad3s1
drive dr2 device /dev/ad2s1
drive dr1 device /dev/ad1s1
volume v0
 plex name v0.p0 org striped 256s vol v0
 sd name v0.p0.s2 drive dr3 len 613376s driveoffset 265s plex v0.p0 plexoff=
set=20
512s
 sd name v0.p0.s1 drive dr2 len 613376s driveoffset 265s plex v0.p0 plexoff=
set=20
256s
 sd name v0.p0.s0 drive dr1 len 613376s driveoffset 265s plex v0.p0 plexoff=
set=20
0s

3) After this is done, everything's okay, and 'gvinum l' looks like:
3 drives:
D dr1                   State: up       /dev/ad1s1      A: 0/299 MB (0%)
D dr2                   State: up       /dev/ad2s1      A: 0/299 MB (0%)
D dr3                   State: up       /dev/ad3s1      A: 0/299 MB (0%)

1 volume:
V v0                    State: up       Plexes:       1 Size:        898 MB

1 plex:
P v0.p0               S State: up       Subdisks:     3 Size:        898 MB

3 subdisks:
S v0.p0.s0              State: up       D: dr1          Size:        299 MB
S v0.p0.s1              State: up       D: dr2          Size:        299 MB
S v0.p0.s2              State: up       D: dr3          Size:        299 MB

4) gvinum saveconfig

5) Reboot

6) 'gvinum l' now looks like:
0 drives:

1 volume:
V v0                    State: up       Plexes:       0 Size:          0  B

1 plex:
P v0.p0               S State: up       Subdisks:     0 Size:          0  B

3 subdisks:
S v0.p0.s0              State: up       D: dr1          Size:        299 MB
S v0.p0.s1              State: up       D: dr2          Size:        299 MB
S v0.p0.s2              State: up       D: dr3          Size:        299 MB

Notice the lack of drives and the subsequent death of my plex and volume? =
=20
Also, everything is conveniently in the up state, but there is no /dev/gvin=
um=20
directory. =20

7) For kicks, add the following to /etc/rc.conf like I saw in an e-mail=20
somewhere:

geom_vinum_load=3D"YES"
start_cmd=3D"gvinum start"

8) Reboot

9) Things still look like 6) above.

Is this a bug or am I silly?

Caveat: This testing is being done in qemu, but the behavior matches a=20
physical system I have.  I haven't tested other kinds of plexes yet, either.
