Hello,
I've searched hi and low for hours on how to setup my system of a RAID
1 and basically what it comes down to is ccd and/or Raid Frame. I've
found helpful docs on using some of the commands and where to put my
configurations but nothing seems complete enough for me to figure it
out.
I have OpenBSD 4.1 installed on one disk and I have an exact duplicate
disk where i want to mirror my installation to incase of disk failure.
If this needs to be setup during install I'm willing reinstall
everything or if there is a way to configure my disks for ccd and
mirror them to the second disk then I'm willing to do that also.
Basically I don't know how to get this ball rolling, I've read 1) I
must change the disk type with disk label to ccd. Then 2) create ccd0
with ccdconfig and tell it to mirror disk 1 to disk 2. It then 3)
finally says to put my configuration into ccd.conf so that it can be
read in on boot by my system and of course put the stuff in fstab to
have it mounted on boot but thats all I know, everything is very vague
and no exact details on how to do this step by step with a new install
or a already running system.
Can someone please help provide a step by step way to mirror my whole
disk to a second disk by ressetting back up OpenBSD from scratch or if
possible configure my already installed system? I don't care if its
with ccd or another tool as long as I have a disk failover solution.
Please Please Please and Thanks!

Hi,
Not for CCD, but raidframe..
Search the mailing list archives for a thread with a subject "Seeking
info for RAID 1 on OpenBSD". In there you will find all sorts of info.
