>Description:
had working raid 5 set under 5.3rc1 composed of 4 drives (scsi).  I updated using cvsup and the 5.3-RELENG tag.  after make buildworld && make buildkernel && make installkernel reboot to single, make installworld, mergemaster, I rebooted

all the sub disks in the raid 5 plex showed stale.  If I use 
"gvinum rm -r volname", it deletes what it should.  If I re-create the set, it re-creates the set and the sub disks are still stale.
>How-To-Repeat:
      create raid 5 plex based volume with gvinum under rc1.  update to rc2 and watch plex become corrupt and unfixable
>Fix:
