I read that softraid now supports RAID0 and RAID1 only. I'm thinking of adding two more disks to the i386 pc I wrote about in this thread. Would a RAID 1+0 or 0+1 supported in this case?
I can think of a procedure like this: - fdisk and disklabel all 4 disks with a single RAID partition - create a RAID0 sd0/softraid0 device on, say, wd1 and wd2 - create a RAID0 sd1/softraid1 device on wd3 and wd4 - disklabel sd0 creating a single RAID partition - idem with sd1 - create a RAID1 sd2/softraid2 device on sd0 and sd1 - disklabel sd2 with a single 4.2BSD partition - create filesystem, mount, etc etc Would something like this work? Unfortunately I have no suitable hardware available right now. I'll try tampering with a OpenBSD 4.4 virtual machine as soon as I have a couple of spare hours.
