Ah, OK. Thanks; I had no idea how long it was expected to be broken.

FYI, it didn't destroy any data. vinum dumpconfig reported everything
was fine, but there was no mount point in /dev/vinum. When I reverted
to an earlier -CURRENT snapshot, it worked without a hitch.

updating UPDATING. I just wish I had read the CURRENT list before
shooting myself in the foot.

Sincerely,

Marcus
