YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA, though. You don't need to stop the volumes first. Basically, you only need "resetconfig" when you have Vinum drives which have had a different name before. This is a rather primitive attempt to stop you shooting yourself in the foot, but I think I'm going to have to improve on it. If you just want to create a new configuration with the same drives, you can just use "create" instead of "read" or "start".
