>Description:
If vnconfig can't open the device file, the error isn't too helpful.
It doesn't tall you which file the open failed on.
>How-To-Repeat:
vnconfig -e /dev/vn0c /u1/SWAP swap
where /dev/vn0c doesn't exist.
>Fix:
The following patch replaces "open" with the failed pathname in the call
to warn().
