The original layout had two drives, one volume, four plexes, eight subdisks. I actually wanted four volumes, two plexes with one subdisk on each disk per volume. As an aside - The vinunm manpage needs to be broken into (at least) two pages, the second page being strictly a configuration file page. A casual (or not so casual read) of the existing manpage doesn't explicitly state how you configure a mirrored volume -- or more precise, what in a configuration MAKES a pair of plexes mirrored.

Use commands like rm. I know I shouldn't use resetconfig. But I couldn't use rm either, because I couldn't shutdown the items I wanted to rm. I refused to use force because it should not have been needed on a clean configuration. > So what did you want to do? What did try? What didn't work? rm commands at all object levels and detach commands.
