You are right about how awful all this stuff is. Man it seems like you
should use an os that suits your goals a little better. I have heard
that Linux offers awesome performance.

I notice it for a while now that SVND is incredible slow related to

vnconfig -cK 8888 -S saltfile /dev/sd0d /dev/svnd1c
disklabel -E svnd1

newfs /dev/rsvnd1a
If you've serval houndret GBs that gonna take a loooong time.
Also you can not restore a backup quickly because of the uberproor
write
performance (it feels like being slower then PIO 3..).
On the other hand softraid can not handle partitions.
At least it wont do it...
bioctl -c C -l /dev/sd0d softraid0
Heyho "invalid metadata format"..
So what other choices does a OpenBSD user have to encrypt a HDD?
Also: Did nobody else notice that? Don't others use these
functions? :-)
And as a side note to softraid:
Also it might be clever to add MORE then 1 softraid device.
Some people might have more then 1 HDD... :-)
Kind regards,
Sebastian
