still in the middle of the build but i don't think so -- it looks like
vinum is using BIO_READ with a fixed offset VINUM_LABEL_OFFSET to
retrieve a raw copy of the disklabel to parse.
i don't have any references but from what you've mentioned in commits
over the last week that's not really going to work. if there are any
geom design outlines i can read (in a digest or news) then i may be
able to put together a patch.
i'll let you know the test results when i have some.
