This is as well supported by the post http://vext01.blogspot.com/2007/11/playing-with-new-softraid-driver-in.html "[...] Bioctl is the utility used for managing both hardware and software RAID in OpenBSD, the transparency is superb. # bioctl softraid0 Volume Status Size Device softraid0 0 Online 1023009 sd0 RAID1 0 Online 1023009 0:0.0 noencl 1 Online 1023009 0:1.0 noencl 2 Online 1023009 0:2.0 noencl Lets break things and see what happens. First I will simulate a missing disk at boot, by detaching wd3. After a reboot I see this: # dmesg | grep softraid0 softraid0 at root softraid0: not assembling partial disk that used to be volume 0 # bioctl softraid0 # Our RAID array was not registered by the kernel, as a disk was missing. I imagine this will be changed at some point. As I said, the softraid driver is not finished. Shutdown the system and put the disk back: # dmesg | grep softraid softraid0 at root scsibus0 at softraid0: 1 targets # bioctl softraid0 Volume Status Size Device softraid0 0 Online 1023009 sd0 RAID1 0 Online 1023009 0:0.0 noencl 1 Online 1023009 0:1.0 noencl 2 Online 1023009 0:2.0 noencl It's back." Isn't this what you said it shouldn't? (Be back 'Online' after an earlier breakage of the mirror) Uwe
