I haven't looked at this on 4.7, but on the releases I'm working
on (4.2 and 4.3--don't ask), most of this is normal.

At initial boot, / is mounted read-only.  Vinum is started before
/ is remounted read/write, so vinum is unable to make updates in /dev.
However this is basically harmless as all the /dev entries should
be present from when you last made vinum changes, and shouldn't
need to be changed.

/dev/vinum/Control won't appear in /dev until you create a configuration.
So until you do that, you may want to consider NOT starting vinum
at boot time, though the messages you're getting are harmless.

Yes.  That's what I'm using quite happily.
