Never mind. Don't know why it didn't work from first boot or why it
wouldn't start manually after, but its working now.
Added "geom_vinum_load=YES" to /boot/loader.conf. Rebooted. And now
things work as they did before. The difference is that gvinum now
sees the drives more completely. Previously listed "0 drives:" but
got the volume, plex and subdisks correct.
# gvinum list
2 drives:
D vinumdrive1 State: up /dev/ad6s1d A: 0/156041
MB (0%)
D vinumdrive0 State: up /dev/ad4s1d A: 0/156041
MB (0%)
1 volume:
V vinum0 State: up Plexes: 1 Size:
304 GB
1 plex:
P vinum0.p0 S State: up Subdisks: 2 Size:
304 GB
2 subdisks:
S vinum0.p0.s0 State: up D: vinumdrive0 Size:
152 GB
S vinum0.p0.s1 State: up D: vinumdrive1 Size:
