I've done it again (rebooted to single user, started /bin/sh, invoked "vinum", and typed "create") and this time it's: # vinum vinum -> create Can't open (null): no such file or directory viunum -> quit Note that there is no editor session, so it doesn't really put much in vinum_history anyway. After I mounted /var and did the same thing, I got: # vinum vinum -> create /usr/bin/vi: not found Can't edit config: status 32512 vinum -> quit and vinum_history had: 2 Feb 2001 14:28:54.299319 *** vinum started *** 2 Feb 2001 14:28:56.178572 create 2 Feb 2001 14:29:09.308706 quit and /var/log/messages was empty (probably because it's single user mode and syslog isn't running...). > It would almost be worthwhile writing a script to turn disklabel > output into a Vinum config file.

Vinum_history has 2 Feb 2001 14:36:40.563941 *** vinum started *** 2 Feb 2001 14:36:46.293202 create drive d1 device /dev/ad2s1d 2 Feb 2001 14:36:57.939402 *** Created devices *** 2 Feb 2001 14:37:06.273407 quit It works if I use "create -f".
