To be blunt: if you don't want to spend the money on hardware RAID, accept the limitations of software RAID. That includes having to wait after crashes and/or unclean shutdowns, unless you want to sacrifice (some) reliability of the system. I believe NetBSD does parity reconstruction in the background. All of this is in the documentation; e.g. according to raidctl(8): "Note that re-writing the parity can be done while other operations on the RAID set are taking place [...]. However: for maximum effectiveness of the RAID set, the parity should be known to be correct before any data on the set is modified." You will also want to read the WARNINGS section of the same man page Cheers, Rogier -- If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there.
