It appears that the preferred way to start vinum at boot time is to "vinum start", but this is now how /etc/rc works. If the vinum_drives variable is set in /etc/rc.conf, then /etc/rc executes "vinum read $vinum_drives". The problem is that no matter what I set vinum_drives to, vinum wouldn't initialize correctly. # vinum read /dev/da2e /dev/da2f /dev/da3e /dev/da3f ** no drives found: No such file or directory If I execute "vinum start", everything works just fine. May 1 08:27:51 news /kernel: vinum: loaded May 1 08:27:52 news /kernel: vinum: reading configuration from /dev/da3f May 1 08:27:52 news /kernel: vinum: updating configuration from /dev/da3e May 1 08:27:52 news /kernel: vinum: updating configuration from /dev/da2e May 1 08:27:52 news /kernel: vinum: updating configuration from /dev/da2f I ended up tweaking /etc/rc to just execute "vinum start".
