e2375c635f Update documentation of new functions.
Describe new scale letter for sizes: 's' (sector) instead of 'b'
(block).  Both mean 512 bytes, but 'b' is deprecated because it's
confusing.

Document log file and environment variables.

240b9c4449 Describe the new semantics of 'create':
When creating a new drive, if the drive already has a vinum label,
  and name doesn't match the specified drive, do it anyway if the
  'force' flag is specified.

Continually-tripped-over-by:  Karl Pielorz <kpielorz@tdx.co.uk>

Update information about partition type for Vinum drives.  They
*should* be of type 'vinum', but currently we still accept (and
complain about) partitions of type 'unused'.  At a later date, only
'vinum' will be accepted.

a5d5588506 - Format corrections for troff output
- Comment out the description of the unimplemented replace command
- Explain in even stronger language that resetconfig is not for
  everyday use

  Motivated by:  Marko Schütz <marko@ki.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de>

- Correct the description of the start command (no longer used to
  start vinum, just specific objects)

  Motivated by: dg

- Remove .TH N commands, which conflict badly with the doc macros,
  causing strange headings in nroff output and endless loops in troff.
  The current version produces warning messages with some screen
  sizes, and will be fixed when I have time.

  Bug-report: docs/9328 (nroff)
  Reported-by: joerg (troff)

- Add gotcha info for the setupstate keyword and the use of label and
  resetconfig.

- Add bug entry for the warning messages introduced by fixing
  docs/9328.

- Add references to web pages on Vinum
