Vinum works great until reboot.

[Joachim Dagerot]

Thanks for your answer, I did read the man-pages, and I also read the
part on how to provide a complete error report, but because of the
fact that I was new to vinum and that I maid a quite straight forward
installation I thought I was running in to a somewhat standard
newbie-gotcha. 

Everything works now, I did make a misstake, I added the c-drives to
my raid-5 instead of as I do now, an e-drive.

I don't think I made any other changes (having the same vinum.conf) as
from the beginning.

Thanks for your reply, and I shall try to be better on my
error-reports, sorry for taking up your time.
