Hello,
I should have miss something in the man pages with softraid and
bioctl. But
i want to form a RAID 1 between two 3TB harddisk (2.7TiB) and it is
acting
like 2TiB MBR disks with OpenBSD 6.0.
fdisk -ig sd1 is OK.
Did you also use the -b option?
The FAQ now lists the steps for EFI setups:
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#softraid
Did you see this already?
I saw that but i dismissed it since i do not need a EFI boot for my
"data container" disks. (aside of the container disks i've got a system
disk with traditional image & rsync backups).
Anyway i did not find "anywhere" the mention that a softraid 1 needs to
be based on a bootable units. As well as "huge" discs management topic
seemed to me not so covered. Such idea of mandatory boot partition
looked weird to me... i just posted an open question on the list.
Eric.
i just performed some remote connection... recreating GPT with an .i EFI
boot partition. The softraid is now 2.7TiB... Grumbl! conclusion :
bioctl needs a mandatory bootable partition to act correctly even on
disks not aimed to be bootable.
Sorry for the noise.
Eric.
