Can a softraid volume be shared between two different computers?  Here's
my scenario:

I have two OpenBSD machines, A and B.  Both are running OpenBSD 4.4.
Machine A is my primary computer, and I regularly back it up on an
external hard drive, encrypted with softraid.  My plan is to copy the
backup to machine B in the event that machine A fails.  But this doesn't
seem to work.

I can reliably read/write to the encrypted hard drive on machine A, but
when I attach the drive to machine B and type

 bioctl -c C -l /dev/sd0a softraid0

I am asked to type my passphrase twice, and then when the encrypted
volume is attached, it is completely empty.

Can anyone confirm this behavior?  Am I doing something wrong?
