make sure we return any allocated space to the drive. This should get
rid of a number of inconsistencies (hopefully all) that have been seen
after configuration errors.
Correctly handle additional disks without BIOS partition tables.
Previously, vinum_scandisk stopped scanning additional disks for
native partitions after any good partition was found. This applies
to all platforms, but was a particular problem on systems without
BIOS partition tables.

vinum_scandisk: Don't handle NULL device pointers.
Only look at compatibility partition for i386. This
is a kludge which should go away once I have adequate
documentation for the New World Order.
Together, these fixes remove occasional error messages about
non-existent drives. They may also fix a number of problems that have
been reported without a PR.

to unload. This would cause a panic on the second resetconfig.
Start Vinum at boot time at SI_SUB_RAID, not SI_SUB_VINUM.
SI_SUB_VINUM was there first, but there's no real distinction, and
SI_SUB_RAID is a more neutral name.

of the struct plex, which tore apart the mutex linked lists when the

32) to be shared by all plexes. This is still a lot better than the

Maintain sector sizes for all objects, not just for drives. Some of

Finally implement read policies. The previous "implementation" didn't
work because it referred to plexes which were almost invariably when
referred to. Instead, deprecate the "prefer" keyword for volumes
(though it's still there for the moment) and add a keyword "preferred"
to the plex definition. The relationship is like this:
Old:
vol foo ... prefer foo.p3
New:
plex foo.p3 volume foo preferred
print_config: Print "preferred" where appropriate.
No longer print "prefer" on volume config entries.

Add ioctl VINUM_READCONFIG which implements both the "read" and

messages when something goes wrong.

subdisks no longer reflects the object to which they belong. The
super devices are high-order volume numbers. This gives vastly more
potential volumes (4 million instead of 256).
Rewrite minor number decoding. Now we have only three types of

subdisks no longer reflects the object to which they belong. The
super devices are high-order volume numbers. This gives vastly more

match the format.
