DRIVE LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
     vinum drives are currently BSD disk partitions. They must be of type
     vinum in order to avoid overwriting data used for other purposes. Use
     disklabel -e to edit a partition type definition. The following display
     shows a typical partition layout as shown by disklabel(8):

     8 partitions:
     # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
       a: 81920 344064 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 240*- 297*)
       b: 262144 81920 swap # (Cyl. 57*- 240*)
       c: 4226725 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 2955*)
       e: 81920 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 57*)
       f: 1900000 425984 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 297*- 1626*)
       g: 1900741 2325984 vinum 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 1626*- 2955*)

     In this example, partition ``g'' may be used as a vinum partition. Par-
     titions ``a'', ``e'' and ``f'' may be used as UFS file systems or ccd
     partitions. Partition ``b'' is a swap partition, and partition ``c''
     represents the whole disk and should not be used for any other purpose.

     The vinum utility uses the first 265 sectors on each partition for con-
     figuration information, so the maximum size of a subdisk is 265 sectors
     smaller than the drive.

Ich kann mir nur vorstellen, dass Du auf jeder Platte auch eine
Partition hast, die die gesamte Scheibe belegt.

Was sagt printconfig?

Die Subdisks müssen alle die gleiche Länge haben. Vinum soll das
merken und den restlichen Platz wieder freigeben, allerdings fürchte
ich, dass damit unentdeckte Lücken entstehen können. Schau' mal die
Ausgabe von 'ls -v' an. Sind dort Lücken?
