note we are only using a single / partition.

We could not find stated exactly anywhere, but we are presuming the description file that you use with vinum create becomes /etc/vinum.conf
When we execute vinum create it appears to work fine. The Devices are created in /dev/vinum/ and we can do a fsck -n -t ufs /dev/vinum/root which outputs no errors
The problem is when we reboot the devices in /dev/vinum are destroyed ( presume this is normal behaviour ) but they are not created on boot.
/boot/loader.conf
vinum_load="YES" vinum.autostart="YES"
Have also tried /boot/loader.conf with:
vinum_load="YES" vinum.autostart="YES" vinum_root="root" vinum_drives="/dev/da0s1h"
both with exactly the same result. When booting we get the message
vinum: loaded vinum: no drives found
any help much appreciated.
please cc me in replies.
