At boot vinum often does not remember these drives should be striped. Booting (usually, but not always as sometimes vinum works) drops me into single user where I have to manually run the above vinum command again which finally creates /dev/vinum/vinum0. At that point my fs will mount cleanly. I don't believe the config is being written to the disks and not sure that I'm not the one doing something wrong:

If I'm not mistaken "dumpconfig" should have produced results similar to "list" but while "list" displays running information from kernel space, "dumpconfig" should go direct to the media for its answer? And dumpconfig is finding nothing?
Have tried putting vinum_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf in addition to start_vinum="YES" in /etc/rc.conf. Vinum_load only seems to cause the rc scripts to say, "vinum already loaded" or similar.
