Thank you for your reply Alexis, I did suspect with it being B it was an issue and I should use D, so I did this, but when issuing raidctl -vF component0 raid0
It still just sits there and says about quescience reached but doesn't bring up the reconstruction bar or seam to reconstruct it. I'm learning more as I do along, but still having a hard time working out where I am going wrong, every guide I have seen has been similar to this one other then a few details here and there chris -----Original Message----- From: Alexis de BRUYN [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 31 March 2009 12:33 To: Chris Harries Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: raidctl -vF component0 raid0 > > A: 144522 4.2BSD (this is the 64MB drive to boot off > > B: 1953375480 RAID (this is the RAID data partition > > C: 1953523055 UNUSED Using 'b' (even 'c') is not a good idea for me too. Try on your second disk (mirror), before configuring RAID, with the two following partitions: a: 512M 4.2BSD Boot partition c: ----- unused Entire drive d: * RAID Everything except boot kernel >> >> START disks >> >> /dev/wd2b # the fake device >> >> /dev/wd1b >> >> And then: START disks /dev/wd2d /dev/wd1d It works for my several configurations all the times.
