Did that before the latest reboot.

How exactly do I "load gvinum"?

If I go into gvinum and "create", it gives me a config file thing -
but slightly different -- and when I exit it prints:

2 drives:
D b                     State: up       /dev/ad2s1a     A:
194480/194480 MB (100%)
D a                     State: up       /dev/ad4s1a     A:
194474/194474 MB (100%)

5 volumes:
V ports                 State: up       Plexes:       0 Size:          0  B
V www                   State: up       Plexes:       0 Size:          0  B
V video                 State: up       Plexes:       0 Size:          0  B
V subversion            State: up       Plexes:       0 Size:          0  B
V home                  State: up       Plexes:       0 Size:          0  B

5 plexes:
P ports.p0            C State: up       Subdisks:     0 Size:          0  B
P www.p0              C State: up       Subdisks:     0 Size:          0  B
P video.p0            C State: up       Subdisks:     0 Size:          0  B
P subversion.p0       C State: up       Subdisks:     0 Size:          0  B
P home.p0             C State: up       Subdisks:     0 Size:          0  B

5 subdisks:
S ports.p0.s0           State: up       D: a            Size:         10 GB
S www.p0.s0             State: up       D: a            Size:         12 GB
S video.p0.s0           State: up       D: b            Size:        189 GB
S subversion.p0.s0      State: up       D: a            Size:       1024 MB
S home.p0.s0            State: up       D: a            Size:         40 MB

See how all the plexes and volumes are size 0?

> you can now treat /dev/gvinum/array

# ls -la /dev/gvinum
ls: /dev/gvinum: No such file or directory

It was there last time... what happened?
