Hi everybody.
I've just upgraded a box from FreeBSD 9 to 9.1 via freebsd-update.
At the first reboot, the machine stopped with messages about GRAID :
GEOM_RAID: Promise: Subdisk kjihgfedcba`_^]\[ZYXWVUTSRQPONM:0-ada0 state
changed from NONE to ACTIVE
The trick is that I've never setup any kind of RAID on that old box...
Is there a way to completely disable GEOM_RAID loading on boot ?
Boot into the loader (option 2 at boot menu). Enter:
set kern.geom.raid.enable=0
boot
That should allow it to boot, and can be added to /boot/loader.conf.
I'm not sure of an easy way to clear the metadata for a permanent fix.
Apparently some manufacturers use motherboard RAID to test drives, so
the metadata may have been on the drive from the factory.
