    I got the disklabels working correctly, but I'm still having
problems.  The following /etc/vinum.cf file doesn't work correctly:

    Things are badly screwed up enough that I can't figure out how to
delete any of the previous runs, and I can't figure out how to correct
any of the existing data.  I keep doing a "vinum resetconfig" and then
"sync;sync;sync;shutdown -r now" in order to avoid the kernel panic
problem that I reported previously.

    There really ought to be a better way to throw away all the data and
start over from scratch, without requiring a klm unload or a reboot.


    Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.  Thanks!
