As I explained in detail in my HEADS UP message a couple of days ago, you must now specify drives, not partitions. The correct command might be vinum read /dev/wd0 /dev/wd2 To quote the message: >> One way you can shoot yourself in the foot: the `read' command has >> changed.

Yes it does. As a result of the incorrect read command, you have probably obliterated your configuration. > I've modified /etc/rc to do a vinum create /etc/vinum.conf instead > and that works, but I thought read was the correct commmand. `read' is the correct command. The arguments you supplied are wrong.
