Hmm. After updating, you should have had new klds as well. But that's probably not your fault. Could you enter a PR about it, please? > So, I copied a fresh vinum.ko in there and tried again.

Any tips, tricks or ideas (apart from moving /usr to > a non-vinum volume and install onto that one). I'd have to find out what went wrong first. It looks as if it should have worked modulo the problems installing the klds. Greg -- When replying to this message, please take care not to mutilate the original text.
