Eric-- I just ran into the same situation this week. You need to do: # vinum read /dev/da1s1 /dev/da2s1 /dev/da3s1 In other words, don't specify the partitions you are using for your vinum drives, just the slices on which those drives live. Once I did this, everything worked quite nicely. When I mentioned this difficulty by email, Greg Lehey also informed me (and I'm assuming that he won't mind me posting two sentences from a private email to me) that: > Note, BTW, that 'vinum start' with no parameters will now DTRT.
