No, as the man page says: vinum(4): vinum - Logical Volume Manager vinum(8): vinum - Logical Volume Manager control program What we're talking about here is vinum(4), not vinum(8). On each page, the SEE ALSO points at the other page. I can appreciate that some people miss one of the pages, but that doesn't mean that we should break the structure of the manual.
