Hi all,

I'm running 4.9 release with 2x usb hard drives in a softraid raid1 setup.

Both drives lost power so both volumes are degraded:

softraid0: trying to bring up sd3 degraded
softraid0: sd3 offline, will not be brought online

running the following doesn't fix the problem, I just get the same message as 
above
bioctl -c 1 -l /dev/sd1a,/dev/sd2a softraid0

The data isn't all that important but I would like to get it back - I don't 
have a secondary backup.

Is there anyway to say force one volume back online so I can do a rebuild on 
the other?

Finally, as much as I like openbsd's softraid am I better off just doing a 
nightly rsync between the drives for redundancy.

Thanks,

Peter
