The problem is simply in the in-core calculations of space on the drive. It doesn't affect anything on disk, so stopping and restarting Vinum will fix it. The only potential danger is if you create new subdisks on a drive. It's possible that they might overlap existing ones, but I'm not even sure of that. You can see the drive free list with 'vinum ld -v'. If that's correct, it's not a problem. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
