Thanks Karel for pointing this out, you are in fact right, and nothing is wrong with the logging, I just forgot that I'm decrypting that device 'automatically' in rc.local. And the kernel log was from before this, hence the similar device names. I still think that nonetheless I should've gotten a degraded array that I can work with (eg. rebuild). As a matter of fact I removed everything from the machine, and left just the four drives of the array, then booted into bsd.rd from a thumb drive. Strangest thing is, if I boot with the 'bad' (=failing) drive as part of the array, softraid brings the volume online (albeit degraded) and I can even decrypt/mount the volume and use it (only one drive being bad in the array of RAID5). If I remove/replace said failing drive, I'm not getting a degraded volume, just the error about the missing chunk and that it refuses to bring it online. Either I completely misunderstood the whole idea about softraid and the RAID5 setup (I mean, removing a device - failed or not - shouldn't hinder the assembly of the array, right?), or I'm missing something really obvious 8-/ Daniel
