Just a detail I didn't clarify in my email. The FastTrack is the typical ultracheap windows-only RAID controller. I used it as a completely stupid PATA controller, then I created the RAID volume using softraid. That's why I hope I can just switch to another controller... Thank you anyway, Manuel

Another softraid question

Back to my 3 disks PC... Suppose I decide to move the two disks containing the RAID0 volume to a different OpenBSD-4.4 PC. Suppose also I put another disk in said PC, so that the two disks are labeled wd1 and wd2 again. Or suppose I need to reinstall OpenBSD. Would the filesystem on RAID0

Did you read the EXAMPLES section in SOFTRAID(4) and followed it by the letter? I would also recommend to try another PATA cable (80-conductor if possible) to see whether the CRC errors disappear. Thank you. This time it worked. I strictly followed the example described in softraid(4)

If you hard set one side of an Ethernet link it disables the auto negotiation pulse so the other side defaults to 10baseT half duplex. I would suggest using media autoselect or media 10baseT unless you can configure the port on the switch. The switch is actually a 8-port 10/100 hub/switch,
