Is there any way to (more simply than running commands after each boot) have a raidframe (raid1 or raid5) set be bother uatoconfiguring, and have hot spares?
I can add the spare easily ... raidctl -a /dev/wdxP raidN (and the partition used is of type RAID in the disklabel of wdx) but after a reboot, it is gone again. I assume this is related to ... -a component dev Add component as a hot spare for the device dev. Component labels (which identify the location of a given component within a particular RAID set) are automatically added to the hot spare after it has been used and are not required for component before it is used. which suggests that nothing happens to the spare when it is added. That makes it kind of difficult for the raid autoconfigure code to find it, I would guess. Is there some way to get a component label added, marking the spare as belonging to this raidset, and being a spare? kre
