Thanks, the first two do it; fault was on my side. I did try the latter 2, and
both , well, I dunno what they tell me:
# bioctl -q sd3
sd3: <OPENBSD, SR RAID 1, 003>, serial OPENBSD SR RAID 1 003
# bioctl -q softraid0
bioctl: DIOCINQ: No such file or directory

Thanks again for the pointer to the first. Maybe an example could be added to
the man pages?

Yes, this is what I was thinking, and it is fine with me. (Though shoving in a
new drive followed by -R would definitively be a huge progress.)

Sure. Agreed. But reboot ought to go through, as we discussed elsewhere.

Thanks again,
