Thanks a bunch for the tips and encouragement. I was using the tutorial at http://www.argon18.com/raid_openbsd.html This tutorial was very useful up until I reached the fstab file, the configuration given does not seem to work. My new fstab file is as follows. /dev/sd0a / ffs rw 1 1 /dev/sd0b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/raid0d /home ffs rw,nodev,nosuid,softdep 1 2 using either a full raid map (/dev/raid0a / ...) or mapping /home to /dev/sd0d would cause the system to boot single user or call for fsck to be run. Another question regarding the raid0.conf file given in the tutorial. It's listed as. START array 1 2 0 START disks /dev/sd0d /dev/sd1d START layout 128 1 1 1 START queue fifo 100 My question is why aren't I also raiding the sd0a and sd1a partitions? Does this mean I need to run a dump -0f- command whenever I make changes to the root partition? The fstab configuration given in the tutorial gets wiped out on reboot. So, I can't assume that part of the tutorial is useful, but here's the configuration given for the secondary disk. /dev/raid0a / ffs rw 1 1 /dev/raid0b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/raid0d /home rw,nodev,nosuid,softdep 1 2 Right now when I add raid0a to fstab it will boot single user, but raid0a is not in my raid0.conf file.
