I have a two disk array that I want to move to another machine.  It 
is configured with striping using vinum.  What is the best way to 
set it up under a new machine?  Should I simply load the old 
vinum.conf file and enable vinum?  Thanks much for any help.

drive disk1 device /dev/ad5s1d
drive disk2 device /dev/ad6s1d
volume stripe
plex org striped 256k
  sd length 114470m drive disk1
  sd length 114470m drive disk2
  

Vinum should find and use the existing configuration.
 

Well,  it hasn't been that easy.  The new machine is running 5.3.  At 
boot I receive:

panic: umount: dangling vnode
/ /when vinum loads at boot.  I get around this by starting vinum from 
rc.local.  The vinum device node (named stripe in this case) isn't in 
/dev/vinum.  Do I need to create it on the new machine.  I placed the 
old config file in /etc/vinum.conf.  Is vinum supposed to create the 
nodes automatically?   Thanks much.

Do I need to recreate the volumes?  Vinum can't seem to find them.  Hmmm.
