Hmm, i've just been experimenting with vinum for the first time this week and 
set up a small raid-5 to play with. I had been starting vinum manually after 
booting so far, the few times i've rebooted. No problems.

Just an hour before reading this i'd finally added the start_vinum="YES" to my 
rc.conf and rebooted.... after reading this i rushed to "vinum list"... 
and ... sure enough, one of the disks from the raid-5 is now is now 
"unknown". I'm pretty sure it was okay before that last reboot; though i 
can't say 100% for sure.

Being inexperienced with vinum, not sure how to handle this. Reconfig?
Anyhow, though I can't say for sure the rc.conf startup is what did it... it's 
an interesting coincidence. And needless to say... i've removed 
start_vinum="YES" from rc.conf just in case.

Below, disk c should be /dev/ad2s1d
