Is this true Greg? I was having frequent crashes and reboots on my vinum raid5 system, which was had it's drives configured as

drive vinum0 device /dev/da0s1h
drive vinum1 device /dev/da1s1h
drive vinum2 device /dev/da2s1h
drive vinum3 device /dev/da3s1h

The system lunched the drives recently, so I can't show what disklabel used to read, but in each case, the h partition was a vinum partition and each drive had at least one
other partition for
a minimum FBSD install, which is how I bootstrapped FBSD onto vinum (the box now has a 5th HD for the OS and I don't currently have vinum running).

Is da#s#h a valid device for vinum, or do I have to use the entire drive? Or do I have to use an entire slice (ie: da0s1)?

Also, don't know if it makes a difference or not, but I also had swap on a raid5 plex.. in fact, everything but root (and the old partitions which generally weren't used,
but were mounted rw) was on a raid5 plex. I can send you my old config file if you're interested. Sorry, but I don't have any debug files.
