This is not a good idea. The version in 3.0-RELEASE was the very first version, and was a bit shaky. In addition, some of the error messages were less than clear. Get hold of the latest version of vinum, either by supping from FreeBSD>org, or from ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/vinum/vinum-3.0-STABLE.tar.gz. Read the description of the `read' command carefully; it has changed since 3.0.
