/dev/gvinum missing, ideas please. .

[Troy Kocher]

I am rebuilding a 6.2 box and want to use growfs to expand the jailed  
filesystems as needed.

I'm doing something wrong b/c /dev/gvinum isn't being created. . help. .

Here is what I've done..

Modified the partition I want to use for gvinum. .

bsd# bsdlabel -e /dev/da0s1

# /dev/da0s1:
8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
   a:  1048576        0    4.2BSD     2048 16384     8
   b:  8388608  1048576      swap
   c: 2580729732        0    unused        0     0         # "raw"  
part, don't e
dit
   d:  8884224  9437184    4.2BSD     2048 16384 28552
   e:  1048576 18321408    4.2BSD     2048 16384     8
   f: 10485760 19369984    4.2BSD     2048 16384 28552
   g: 2550873988 29855744     vinum


bsd# gvinum
gvinum -> l
1 drive:
D main                  State: up       /dev/da0s1g     A:  
1245543/1245543 MB (100%)

1 volume:
V outward               State: down     Plexes:       1  
Size:          0  B

1 plex:
P outward.p0          C State: down     Subdisks:     0  
Size:          0  B

0 subdisks:

bsd# newfs -L outward -O 2 -U -o time /dev/gvinum/outward
newfs: /dev/gvinum/outward: could not find special device

There is no /dev/gvinum..

Ideas??
