What's the status of vinum?

Hi,

I tried to upgrade a machine running vinum from sources dated 
2004.06.17.18.00.00, to -CURRENT sources of 2004.07.12 with gvinum but 
with no success. After installing new world and kernel, I tried to do a 
"gvinum start". The first time I ran it, it reported a mirror and a 
concatenated plex OK, but after the first reboot it had lost its 
configuration. I tried to start over using gvinum, by first, using 
vinum and doing a resetconfig, then doing a create using gvinum. No 
luck, I still lost my gvinum configuration after a reboot.
