I must have missed a step, or misconfigured something somewhere. I think I'm right at the tail end of a long process of setting up raid mirror in openbsd 4.0. I used the directions from eclectica here: http://www.eclectica.ca/howto/openbsd-software-raid-howto.php
After following everything with no problems (that I'm aware of). I make the "final" reboot, and boot up fine, except that root is mounted read-only! I seem unable to mount the root to a r/w status manually (maybe I'm just not getting the syntax to do so), so that I could try editing the fstab, raid0.conf, etc. Or getting it to chroot root to raid0d (Desired) instead of it continually going to raid0a (undesired, that's meant to be /boot). My partitioning scheme is a little different, and maybe that's part of the problem. I'm trying to have it setup as: /raid0a => /boot /raid0d => / /raid0e => /usr Instead it's coming up as: /raid0a => / /raid0e => /usr My fstab looks like: /dev/raid0a /boot ffs rw 1 1 /dev/raid0d / ffs rw 1 1 /dev/raid0e /usr ffs rw,nodev 1 2 My raid0.conf looks like: START array # rows (must be 1), columns, spare disks 1 2 0 START disks /dev/wd0d /dev/wd1d START layout # sectPerSU SUsPerParityUnit SUsPerReconUnit RAID_level 128 1 1 1 START queue # queue mode, outstanind request count fifo 100 Not sure what else I should include. I'm going to hit the hay for night, but hope someone has some guidance for me. This is the first time I've tried to setup raid under openbsd. It has definitely been a very lengthy process compared to other experiences. Any guidance/suggestions/ideas as to why my root isn't mounting where desired, and especially is only mounting in read-only mode.
