The new machine is running 5.3. At boot I receive: panic: umount: dangling vnode / /when vinum loads at boot. I get around this by starting vinum from rc.local. The vinum device node (named stripe in this case) isn't in /dev/vinum. Do I need to create it on the new machine. I placed the old config file in /etc/vinum.conf. Is vinum supposed to create the nodes automatically? Thanks much.
