I thought the manpage was just covering things that worked well, and in
the code itself were things waiting to be tested better. It shows a "3
chunk raid 1" setup, but doesn't mention anything about hot standby. I'm
not aware of 3 disk RAID 1 otherwise.
Also, for some reason (I think past misc@ posts) I was under the
impression that this would be similar to Vinum. From what I'm hearing
back it's actually a RAIDFrame replacement. The manpage doesn't really
go over it's final goal.
Testing related:
I saw your message on the 15th asking for help. I plan to run that
through a SPARC machine, but I'm not sure if there are different ways to
poke at the new code. Will different underlying hardware (besides
architecture) make a difference, or is this a layer above that?

I'm in a good position to test Softraid on an AMD and an UltraSPARC,
however I've realized I don't know a lot about it (what -exactly- it's
working to accomplish, and commands to use).
Is there an overview of Softraid to get me started so I can be of some
use?
