This would be a good note to put somewhere obvious such as the 5.x-RELEASE
errata. I too had been trying to get Vinum to work in -CURRENT. Vinum is an
important part of FreeBSD for some people and there's likely going to be a lot
of people trying to test it out as 5.x approaches STABLE.

Vinum in -CURRENT (was: Vinum panic on boot)

 Hi,

 Another vinum question. I have a machine running 5-CURRENT sources from
 yesterday (yes I know the dangers of running CURRENT and I did read the
 mailing list archives). 

Well, the issue was discussed there.

 I think I found a bug, if I add start_vinum=YES to /etc/rc.conf,
 at boot I get a panic with a message saying:

 panic: vinum: dangling vnode snip

 Im sorry I do not have the complete message, it is the machine I am using
 as a gateway and I prefered to get online and find some more information.
 I'd be happy to compile a debugging kernel if necessary.

Well, is the least that people will ask of you when running -CURRENT.
But since this problem has already been reported, there's no longer
much point.

The current status of Vinum in -CURRENT is that it is being
rewritten.  The introduction of the GEOM layer has badly broken Vinum,
and it has been decided better to rewrite it than to fix it.  It'll be
a while before it's smooth again.
