This will assemble the volume from existing metadata if it exists. Any chance you created a 2TB 'a' partition to start with and created a softraid volume with it, then resized/recreated the disklabels? I'd certainly suggest zeroing the drives (via dd or similar), or using -C force (dd is more certain). The size is read directly from the disklabel, but only when the metadata is first created (after the metadata exists, we read the size from the metadata). All of the variables involved appear to be 64-bit types so I do not think that 32-bit truncation is occurring, although there are some signed/unsigned issues that should be addressed at some point. If zeroing and recreating the metadata fails to solve the issue, I can provide a diff that adds some debug info. > sd3 at scsibus2 targ 1 lun 0: <OPENBSD, SR RAID 1, 005> SCSI2 0/direct > fixed sd3: 2097148MB, 512 bytes/sector, 4294961093 sectors > > Yet, bioctl only sees it for 4294961093 sectors :( > > # bioctl -h sd3 > Volume Status Size Device > softraid0 0 Online 2.0T sd3 RAID1 > 0 Online 2.0T 0:0.0 noencl <sd1a> > 1 Online 2.0T 0:1.0 noencl <sd2a> > > I have been troubleshooting this issue with the help of Scott McEachern > extensively, and we are both stumped.
