vinum broken by devstat changes?

2003-03-25 Thread Harti Brandt
Hi, when calling 'vinum start' it responds with usage: read drive [drive ...] from looking at the code, it appears that it cannot find the disk drives to read the configuration from. vinum read da0 da1 just works. So what's the problem? (kernel and user land from today)
