:I don't think vinum ever writes to the label area. You are not supposed to
start your partition on sector 0.
Unfortunately it does if you happen to start your partition at sector 0.
It writes to offset 4096 and the label area is the first 8K of the disk.
Even worse, the auto-start code seems to completely ignore the
partitioning scheme on the disk.
:what's wrong with vinum right now? I always had to pass all drives or it
wouldn't work.

There's something going when you 'vinum start' and 'vinum stop'. Do
it a few times and the kernel blows up. Literally.
Maybe it doesn't happen when it does the automatic scan at boot time
when using a vinum root. It definitely occurs when I do it manually.
