Hmm.  That's to be expected.

Looks OK.  With this, either name should work.

This is puzzling.  Quite honestly, I don't understand where the
problem could be.  Try 'config -f file' instead of 'config file' and
see if that works.  If not, try:

  # ktrace -i vinum create file
  # kdump > foo

Then send me the contents of the file foo.  We should probably take
this offline: it's getting big.  Also, I'll be travelling this
weekend, so it could take a few days for me to reply.
