Re: softraid to encrypt _AND_ raid?
OK, as we all predicted, this was just a PEBCAK. It works find whether [a] or [d]. Thanks for the help - I appreciate it.

I think you're right: I must have missed the disklabel'ing sd0d to "raid" in my first attempt. I will repro with sd0d to make sure it does work. Thanks for the help, guys.

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately it didn't work (that's what I had tried). However, I think I found a workaround: after combining wd0a and wd1a as mirrors with the first command, I created a disklabel for sd0, with a sd0a of type "raid" Then: bioctl -c C -r 8192 -l /dev/sd0a softraid0 Which gave me sd1... which I then disklabel'd, etc... and finally mounted sd1a. So I _think_ it is being encrypted and mirrored. But I need to do more tests to confirm. Thanks for the help - I hope my findings can help someone else hitting the same issue. Frankly I don't know why your suggestion didn't work. It seems to me it should.

Re: softraid to encrypt _AND_ raid?
Yes, I tried stacking them one after the other (first raiding, then crypto'ing) - didn't work. -- Greg -- View this message in context: http://openbsd.7691.n7.nabble.com/softraid-to-encrypt-AND-raid-tp219721p219770.html Sent from the openbsd user - misc mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Have you tried stacking a crypto volume on top of the softraid raid1 volume ? zgeggy2k [zgegg...@yahoo.com] wrote: > Hi, > > I'm using 5.2 and trying to use 2 mirrored disks as RAID1, but also encrypt > them. > I can use softraid to either raid1 _OR_ encrypt, but not both. > > I've RTFM'd and UTFSE to no avail.
