Hello Greg,

If I may intrude in this discussion, I was wondering what is the correct
syntax for naming vinum drives in rc.conf.
I've got two drives merged and striped with vinum, but I'm not sure what
to put in rc.conf
vinum_conf :
drive drive1 device /dev/wd1s1h
drive drive2 device /dev/wd2s1h

volume initial
 plex org striped 512b
  sd length 19806208b drive drive1
  sd length 19806208b drive drive2

in rc.conf : 
Is the following correct :
vinum_drives="/dev/wd1s1h /dev/wd2s1h"
or should it be
vinum_drives="/dev/wd1h /dev/wd2h"

	Big kudos for vinum 

	TfH
