vinum: no drives found && partitiontype=vinum ?

[Simon Strandgaard]

one question; Why does vinum not start at system startup ?

At the bottom of my rc.conf file, I have added:
start_vinum="YES"

When I reboot the system, all I see in dmesg is:
vinum: no drives found


I can start it manualy:

server# vinum create config1
2 drives:
D a                     State: up       /dev/ad1s1c     A: 39166/39266
MB (99%)
D b                     State: up       /dev/ad2s1c     A: 229/329 MB
(69%)

1 volumes:

The partition types is 'vinum' for both slices.
BTW: these warnings makes me feel creepy :-)

server# disklabel /dev/ad1s1
