Configuration bugs like having two vinum volumes overlapping...I just shot
myself in the foot by having a /usr2 and /var2 which overlapped. I didn't
notice until when I rebooted and vinum kept complaining about "size -1b"
and other things (I won't quote them because I've already obliterated the
vinum config). I tried to wring every last sector out of my
partition...guess I'll have to try (later...&#*$ homework now) with more
conservative volume sizes.

Just my $0.02
