That means that the disklabel checks are failing for type 'vinum'. I'll take a look at this. What you should be doing is running fsck with a type, ie fsck -t ufs /dev/vinum/raid5 > So, it appears that fsck is attempting to determine a file > system type, tries to use /etc/fstab, and then falls back to > a secondary scheme.

I'll try fix the autodetect for vinum partition types (if its possible, I seem to remember there being a vinum type in the header files). Its weird though, I would have thought a vinum device would be type FSTYPE (eg BSD4.3) rather than VINUM, which I'd associate with the underlying devices ..
