Hi everyone

I setup a raid system using raictl

Snipp ------

START array

# row, column, spare disks
1 3 1

START disks
/dev/wd1a
/dev/wd2a
/dev/wd3a

START spare
/dev/wd4a

START layout
32 1 1 5

START queue
fifo 100

Snip ------

When it started up for the first time it wrote parity information 
which took quite a while.

Everything worked fine I could acces the disk and copy files to the 
partition.

Then I had to test the server before putting it into a production 
enviroment. So I switched of /dev/wd3a.

The system halted itself when I did that... 
I started the system started and gave me the following error:
raid0: Error re-writing parity.

When I run the command: raidctl -s raid0
raid0 Components:
    /dev/wd1a: optimal
    /dev/wd2a: optimal
    /dev/wd3a: failed
Spares:
    /dev/wd4a: spare
Parity status: DIRTY
Reconstruction is 100% complete.
Parity Re-write is 100% complete.
Copyback is 100% complete

I have tried running the following command:
raidctl -P raid0
raid0: Parity status: Dirty
raid0: Initiating re-write of parity
raid0: Error re-writing parity!

I'm not sure what is going on here my kernel is standard except for 
raidframe support compiled in. I just can't seem to rebuild the array.

Anybody run into this problem before? Any help would be appreciated.

Kind Regards Julian
