I think I found the problem. There is a size mismatch between
dev_t from kernel and dev_t from standard libraries. I let vinum print
out sizes of drive structure, got 120 from module and 118 from vinum. I
then printed out the only thing that I could find that could be generic:
dev_t structure.
The size of dev_t from module is 8 but from vinum is 4. Types
defines dev_t as an int of 32 bits for non alpha BUT as a pointer for
alpha (64 bits)...
