Actually, no -- Vinum doesn't know how to do that--the device name used in
this code originates in a userland ioctl() configuration call for Vinum.
However, here's a patch that makes Vinum use namei() to rely on devfs to
locate requested devices instead of parsing the device name and guessing
the device number (incorrectly with GEOM). Unfortunately, I almost
immediately run into a divide by zero due to a zero sector size. Jeff
Roberson mentioned to me he had a fix for this bug that he sent to Greg,
but that was never committed.
