Actually I now about the sixth field, and it was intentionally set to disable the
automatic device check..

The problem may perhaps be related to the basic configuration of the
vinum device:

fsck -p /dev/vinum/vol/pz1
Can't stat /dev/vinum/vol/rpz1: No such file or directory
/dev/vinum/vol/pz1: /dev/vinum/vol/pz1 is not a character device
/dev/vinum/vol/pz1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.

Any idea why the raw mode device of /dev/vinum/vol/pz1 does not exist?
I have no raw mode device in a similar configuration on a 4.0-STABLE system.
And the strange thing is that fsck does not complain about it missing..
