Hi Warner,

Can you add a remark about the devfs and vinum
conflict to UPDATING ? I had serious problems today,
because I have been bitten by this conflict.

Devfs is now in GENERIC-KERNEL in CURRENT, and if you
upgrade and have vinum set up on on /usr,
you cannot mount it - no way.

mkdir: /dev/vinum: Operation not supported
mkdir: /dev/vinum: Operation not supported
mkdir: /dev/vinum: Operation not supported
mkdir: /dev/vinum: Operation not supported
Can't create /dev/vinum/Control: No such file or directory
Can't create /dev/vinum/control: No such file or directory
Can't create /dev/vinum/controld: No such file or directory
Can't get vinum config: Bad file descriptor
Can't open /dev/vinum/Control: Bad file descriptor

It is not possible to unmount devfs, so only way is to boot
an old kernel (if it works) or boot a cd-rom.

This should be definitly in UPDATING. You have to compile
a Kernel without devfs.

Possible Text:

Remove "option devfs" from your KERNEL-CONFIG if you are
using vinum and you upgrade from STABLE. Else you cannot
mount your vinum-volumes.
