You don't use MAKEDEV for Vinum volumes: vinum(8) creates them automatically. > The /var, /tmp, and /usr directories of the boot partition are > replaced by vinum volumes during boot, so the /usr directory on the > boot partition is not being updated by "make installworld".

Well, if you want to continue running two different /usr partitions, the obvious thing is to update both of them. But I really don't understand why you're doing things this way.
