I had serious problems today, because I have been bitten by this conflict. Devfs is now in GENERIC-KERNEL in CURRENT, and if you upgrade and have vinum set up on on /usr, you cannot mount it - no way. mkdir: /dev/vinum: Operation not supported mkdir: /dev/vinum: Operation not supported mkdir: /dev/vinum: Operation not supported mkdir: /dev/vinum: Operation not supported Can't create /dev/vinum/Control: No such file or directory Can't create /dev/vinum/control: No such file or directory Can't create /dev/vinum/controld: No such file or directory Can't get vinum config: Bad file descriptor Can't open /dev/vinum/Control: Bad file descriptor It is not possible to unmount devfs, so only way is to boot an old kernel (if it works) or boot a cd-rom. This should be definitly in UPDATING. You have to compile a Kernel without devfs. Possible Text: Remove "option devfs" from your KERNEL-CONFIG if you are using vinum and you upgrade from STABLE. Else you cannot mount your vinum-volumes.
