thanks, I appreciate the pointer.  That being said, if this is a "KNOWN" 
problem (as far back as August) how come no mention in either the 
release notes OR errata.  I like and use FreeBSD for it's stability, but 
at this point in time, I've got broken vinum-classic  (with workarounds) 
raid5 in 4.10 and raid 1 in 5.3-stable.  Both of these installed per 
current documentation. I haven't logged bug reports becasue it seems 
like everything is moving to gvinum, and they'd probably just end up 
closed out as FINV
