Hello all,

I'm setting up a mirrored volume with vinum, using the following config file:

drive a device /dev/ad0
drive b device /dev/ad3
volume storage

plex org concat
sd length 78167m drive a

plex org concat
sd length 78167m drive b


but when I run the config, I get this:

vinum -> create raidconfig
   1: drive a device /dev/ad0
** 1 Can't initialize drive a: Operation not supported by device
   2: drive b device /dev/ad3
** 2 Can't initialize drive b: Operation not supported by device

And thus far, a search on the problem has been much less than
illuminating.  Is this a common problem?  How do I fix it?  I've made
sure that the disks in question have been labeled using disklabel -e
as vinum volumes.   What else?
