The instability with firewire on my system was due to having specified a SCSI delay of only 2 seconds. The firewire drive enclosure was not detected in this short time frame and thus vinum did not find the drive when it started. I did some experimenting and finally found that a 5 second delay works on my system. I'm happy to report that vinum and firewire have worked flawlessly together since.
Is there some way to add this note to that thread?
Thanks,
Drew
