Hello,

This is my first time posting to this list. I am wanting to setup a
softraid 1 array, with two 3TB drives. Every guide or howto I can find
though is about installing onto such an array. My case however, the boot
drive is on its own, a 250GB'er. I simply want to create the array with
softraid, mount it at /storage, and use it. Does anyone know of any guides
that cover this kind of scenario?

I also have a few questions about what I read so far.

1. a few guides talk about using the MAKEDEV shell script. Do I still need
to use that for my scenario?

2. Also, since my target array will not be a bootable array, do I still
need to fdisk -yi the devices? I read in the FAQ that fdisk won't report
the sizes correctly, but that I shouldn't worry though, since disklabel
with the b option will cover it.

3. My two identical 3TB drives are sd1 and sd2, and bioctl reported that
sd3 is created. I ran newfs -O 2 on it, and that seemed to work. I can't
figure out how to mount it though. mount /dev/rsd3c /storage says something
about block device required.

That's about as far as I got.

Thanks for any feedback.
