Did you read bioctl(8) and did you try the -R option that man page mentions? It would seem appropriate for your question. > How do we make the device become online again ? >From a (brief) look at the manual and bioctl.c, I get the impression that providing bioctl -R with the failed chunk (sd0, in your case) should set off a rebuild of your softraid volume (sd2, in your case). I haven't had time to explore softraid in practice yet, so take my advice with a grain of salt. > BTW does the same apply for physical drives instead of usb pens ? I would expect 'yes', given that your USB pen attaches as an sd(4). Ripping out a USB pen is not that different from ripping out a regular drive, only easier.
