Making again the test on 4.6 Now I have "bioctl: BIOCCREATERAID: Invalid argument" however on a another machine. Am I wrong in any point ?
Is there any need to compile raid into the kernel as I saw here ? http://www.argon18.com/raid_openbsd.html Following example (same method as I first used) EXAMPLES An example to create a 3 chunk RAID 1 from scratch is as follows: Initialize the partition tables of all disks: # fdisk -iy wd1 # fdisk -iy wd2 # fdisk -iy wd3 Now create RAID partitions on all disks: # printf "a\n\n\n\nRAID\nw\nq\n\n" | disklabel -E wd1 # printf "a\n\n\n\nRAID\nw\nq\n\n" | disklabel -E wd2 # printf "a\n\n\n\nRAID\nw\nq\n\n" | disklabel -E wd3 Assemble the RAID volume: # bioctl -c 1 -l /dev/wd1a,/dev/wd2a,/dev/wd3a softraid0 And here I end up with the following error "bioctl: BIOCCREATERAID: Invalid argument" Here's dmesg : OpenBSD 4.6 (GENERIC) #58: Thu Jul 9 21:24:42 MDT 2009 dera...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+ ("AuthenticAMD" 686-class, 512KB L2 cache) 2.09 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,SSE real mem = 771256320 (735MB) avail mem = 736366592 (702MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 08/19/04, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfac00, SMBIOS rev. 2.3 @ 0xf0100 (33 entries) bios0: vendor Award Software International, Inc. version "R01-A2" date 08/19/2004 bios0: Acer AcerPower M2 apm0 at bios0: Power Management spec V1.2 (slowidle) apm0: AC on, battery charge unknown acpi at bios0 function 0x0 not configured pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.1 @ 0xf0000/0xd074 pcibios0: PCI IRQ Routing Table rev 1.0 @ 0xfd000/112 (5 entries) pcibios0: PCI Exclusive IRQs: 5 9 10 11 pcibios0: no compatible PCI ICU found: ICU vendor 0x1039 product 0x0964 pcibios0: Warning, unable to fix up PCI interrupt routing pcibios0: PCI bus #1 is the last bus bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0x8000 0xc8000/0x8000!
