 I would be glad, if you could talk less sharp to me, because it
 hurts me out of reasons, I do not want to disclose here. Of course
 I am willing to supply the needed and just the necessary
 information; but if I make you angry, I would be glad, if you
 could ignore me and my incompetence. Thank you.

 How does this apply to the FreeBSD GNATS WebService?
 
 There is no hint, that the WebService will send non-conformant
 emails on my behalf...

 Btw.: Yahoo!Mail word wraps appropriately and automatically.

 At least this can be fixed automatically, by using standardized
 mareshalloing techniques (I forgot the name; maybe MIME?).

 Yes, now it complains about a missing drive until I type "vinum
 read". But this little catastrophe started with complaints about a
 missing subdisk (as far as I recall recorrectly; I am not so sure
 now anymore).

 Hmm... Yes. Although the subdisks on riddick are not really
 there...

 Answer for your other questions:
 1. I did not change the vinum source code, so it is FreeBSD R5.3's
 vinum.
 2. Maybe I should make my problem more clear:
    Everytime the system comes up after a reboot, drive riddick is
    referenced but missing (no /dev/... value).
    When I type "vinum read" vinum finds the missing drive.
