No, I mean self corrupting raid5 sets during initialization.  Discussed

In the following message you seemed to claim that adding 64 sectors of 
slack to the
beginning of the vinum partition fixed this problem, as I suggested. Did 
that fix it or not?


The reason is empirically derived.  When I created a 7 disk raid 5 set 
using "len 0" or all the space available, the raid set would be 
corrupt after initializing.  Every time.  When I reserved back  that 
extra space, no corruption.
(freebsd 4.10-p3)  There was a thread on this a few days ago.
