Not after looking a bit closer. ;-) The only difference ist that the userland "vinum start" uses devstat, while the in-kernel autoscan if vinum.autostart is set uses sysctl kern.disks (devstat is not available in the kernel). Both use the same backend function. So yes, the userland should probably be changed to use the sysctl as well, but that's certainly not the root of Michael's problems. Something else must be the problem there. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
