This will work although I have not written all the magic to make it pretty. I will at some point make this into an actual raid type so that it is a single create statement instead of several. I do not recommend using it this way. On Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 01:22:55PM -0800, Manuel Ravasio wrote: >

Bah that is a bug though; the disk should not be knocked offline for an out of bounds read/write. I'll fix this. Thanks for the report. Your mistake is not to fdisk and disklabel the brand new disk that you created. See softraid(4) for examples. On Sat, Nov 29, 2008 at 04:34:52AM -0800, Manuel
