I just did this, and managed to actually get it to put a filesystem on /dev/da1s1e, which I presume I can then go in and blow away with `disklabel -er`. That took a little while to do just one disk, so this is going to be a somewhat long and laborious task. However, I suspect that you've given me just the information I needed, and I'll let you know if I have any further problems. >I'm not currently running Vinum at the moment, but I have had it running >briefly with softupdates...

Sorry, must have somehow missed that rule when I was going through the archives and subscribing to the lists, etc....
