List,
I am having problems building my 2 x 1 TB mirror RAID in openBSD. When I run this command "raidctl -vF component0 raid0" on the screen it says "quiescence reached" and the system hangs. I can type commands but they do nothing, type top and enter and it just sits there, press ctrl C and it just says ^C, I can ping it fine, I can press returns till the cows come home but nothing happens. If I try ssh'ing in, putty just sits there.it doesn't time out, but no login prompt comes up. I was thinking, it would take a long time to do as it is 2 x 1TB drives but I started this Saturday afternoon, back in the office Monday morning and it's still like this. I am following the guide from this site http://www.linux.com/articles/52713#commentthis running OpenBSD 4.4 and they are SATA drives. They have no problem running singularly. The guide is pretty much followed word for word, I've never setup software RAID on OpenBSD before so I don't know any better. Here is some info that might be useful cat >> GENERIC.RAID << EOF include "arch/'uname -m'/conf/GENERIC # include GENERIC configuration option RAID_AUTOCONFIG # automatically configure RAIDframe arrays on boot pseudo-device raid 4 # RAIDframe disk driver EOF config GENERIC.RAID cd ../compile/GENERIC.RAID make clean depend && make cp /bsd /bsd.noraid install -o root -g wheel -m 644 bsd / newfs wd1a mount /dev/wd1a /mnt cp /bsd /usr/mdec/boot /mnt /usr/mdec/installboot -v /mnt/boot /usr/mdec/biosboot wd1 umount /mnt cat >> /root/raid0.conf << EOF START array # numRow numCol numSpare 1 2 0 START disks /dev/wd2b # the fake device /dev/wd1b START layout 128 1 1 1 START queue fifo 100 EOF raidctl -C /root/raid0.conf raid0 raidctl -I 0903270 raid0 Any more information, please do not hesitate to ask :-) Many Thanks Chris
