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.

fd20bb017e If we fail to open the super device, open the "wrong" device (that is,
the debug superdevice when we're compiled without debug, or the normal
superdevice when we're compiled with debug.  If this succeeds, print
an informative comment and exit.

make_devices: Create both debug and normal superdevices.

5e2b0861ec resetconfig: don't log the "obliterated" message, the kernel does that

parameters, which reads the config from all drives found on the
system.

f2c4d303d7 Extend 'start' command: if used without any parameters, vinum scans

730ed31899 Check for both kinds of Vinum module (with and without RAID-5). Using
the wrong module can cause confusion, including loading both versions
(which conflict with each other) and incorrect ioctls, which cause
unintelligible error messages.

Extend 'start' command: if used without any parameters, vinum scans
all disks known to devstat for vinum drives and reads their
configuration.

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

dbf1004755 Honour the default CFLAGS. This fixes a spew of warnings for compiling
unused static inlines in headers without -O.

Fixed missing libraries in DPADD.

Use .PATH instead of a symlink farm.

Removed bogus dependency of util.c on statetext.h (only util.o depends
on it).  Removed rule for building statetext.h.  The dependency was used
to get statetext.h built, but statetext.h is a non-generated source file
so it doesn't need building.  This fixes an annoying message for the null
build and use of `make' instead of ${MAKE} to do the null build.

Fixed some style bugs.
