I suspect that you may have deleted the volume (`bioctl -d') at some point, 
which marks the volume as one not to be automatically assembled. At this 
stage there is no easy way to undo this, hence you can either choose to run 
`bioctl -c' after each boot, recreate the volume from scratch, or wait until 
I allow existing volumes to changed back to automatic assembled.
