vinum: Inappropriate ioctl for device

[jd]

I am trying to set up Vinum on a new system, and I get the error message:
"vinum: Inappropriate ioctl for device".

Here are the details:

- FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE

- vinum list

Also, I don't seem to be able to do newfs on the vinum volumes:

newfs /dev/vinum/usr
preposterous size 0

Vinum used to work beautiful under 4.11; I'm wondering what do I need to
change to make it work under 5.4?
