I just upgraded one of our servers to a 4/30/1999 version of 3.1-stable
in order to use vinum and ran into a minor problem.

It appears that the preferred way to start vinum at boot time is to
"vinum start", but this is now how /etc/rc works.  If the vinum_drives
variable is set in /etc/rc.conf, then /etc/rc executes
"vinum read $vinum_drives".

The problem is that no matter what I set vinum_drives to, vinum wouldn't
initialize correctly.

    # vinum read /dev/da2e /dev/da2f /dev/da3e /dev/da3f
    ** no drives found: No such file or directory

If I execute "vinum start", everything works just fine.

    May  1 08:27:51 news /kernel: vinum: loaded
    May  1 08:27:52 news /kernel: vinum: reading configuration from /dev/da3f
    May  1 08:27:52 news /kernel: vinum: updating configuration from /dev/da3e
    May  1 08:27:52 news /kernel: vinum: updating configuration from /dev/da2e
    May  1 08:27:52 news /kernel: vinum: updating configuration from /dev/da2f

I ended up tweaking /etc/rc to just execute "vinum start".
