Of course, vinum still has a dozen of bugs that get uncovered once you leave the path Greg has been testing :) (like you make a typo in your configuration...), but that's another matter. Anyway, since i just fell again across it: the vinum devfs volume entries get assigned to root:wheel mode 0600. This makes it impossible for a member of group `operator' to dump(8) them although operators can dump any other disk device. We should make it consistent (either way). Also, i have been surprised that the /dev/vinum/plex nodes of a mirrored volume don't show identical contents (and the second one even seems to have the wrong device size), but that's certainly not a problem of the DEVFS integration again, but a genuine vinum bug. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
