Yes, I think this would work. The real problem here is that, as you know from private correspondence, I haven't found a good way to determine what partitions are on the system, so I go through with brute force and try to open each possible partition. This will change when I find a better way, but it shouldn't require incompatible changes to the command line syntax again. With any luck, I *will* be able to say `vinum start', and it will go out and find the partitions by itself.
