Vinum is running fine here on 5.0 for already quite some time.

the trick is most likely:

newfs -T ufs /dev/vinum/vinum0

Nope. No joy:

# newfs -T ufs /dev/vinum/myvol
newfs: /dev/vinum/myvol: can't figure out file system partition

Since it's working for you, the problem is probably related to newfs
(existing vinum volumes are probably fine).

Arg. Out of desperation, I tried using "vinum0" as the volume
name, instead of "myvol". It worked (the "-T" isn't needed). Foo.
Arg.

Yep, the naming is the problem. Afaik due to the GEOM system newfs has changed. The vinum volume name must either end in '0' or 'a' to allow the newfs operation... however there is some message in current which says that someone (grog?) is working on it.
