I can't see anything that mentions /sbin/mount in either of these man pages. As an experiment, I tried changing their type to vinum in /etc/fstab, but mount complained that it couldn't find mount_vinum. I can't seem to find the source in /usr/src either. /etc/fstab: /dev/da1s1e /mnt/mirror0 vinum rw 2 2 /dev/da2s1e /mnt/mirror2 vinum rw 2 2 This is on a 3.3-STABLE box, based on a cvsup and make world done on 14th October.
