I thought this might be a link to a message I wrote.  :)  In reading it, 
I see at the bottom I suggested that using firewire drives with vinum 
was unstable and that I would follow up.  However I can't recall if I 
ever posted my findings.

The instability with firewire on my system was due to having specified a 
SCSI delay of only 2 seconds.  The firewire drive enclosure was not 
detected in this short time frame and thus vinum did not find the drive 
when it started.  I did some experimenting and finally found that a 5 
second delay works on my system.  I'm happy to report that vinum and 
firewire have worked flawlessly together since.

Is there some way to add this note to that thread?

Thanks,

Drew
