Nifty - I was thinking of pestering the lists to check on it -
because I just *know* someone had to be using it, especially with
all this new-fangled-filesystem-talk :)

will do - although my -CURRENT machines are unavailable at the moment,
so I'll probably manually apply to 1.8 release until a week or so from
now.
Another thing to be noted was that vinum assumes it's using a kernel
module generally, and the vinum docs warn against a static build,
and I had to statically built into the VKERNEL since module support for
vkernels isn't? there yet?...

thanks & IMHO agree

personally I wasn't sure what to use, as '-r' didn't seem to fit,
so -D works and makes more sense (to me) as well.
I'm probably going to look at various command line / config file kinds
of things for the vkernel 'CLI' if you call it that in about a month or
so - right now I'm working on getting my systems installed in a very
repeatable way for some performance & stress tests I want to do shortly.

woohoo! thanks!
