I keep doing a "vinum resetconfig" and then "sync;sync;sync;shutdown -r now" in order to avoid the kernel panic problem that I reported previously. There really ought to be a better way to throw away all the data and start over from scratch, without requiring a klm unload or a reboot. Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.
