Hello,
I've been a happy user of OpenBSD softraid RAID 1 mirroring, and I'm attemtping
to migrate data off of a degraded RAID 1 mirror.
I've booted before from the 6.7 install USB (amd64) and this degraded chunk was
detected and the volume was brought up and my data was there.
I'm not su

You are not really explaining what it is that you actually
want to do...
So i'm guessing a bit:

Hi,
Sorry I'm not sure I understand, but anyway as far as I know you have to be
root already to use chroot, and the main goal of fakeroot is to avoid
having to become root when you don't really need to. So fakeroot just
gives the appearances of being root without actually running anything
as root.
Hi Richard,
pardon my ignorance but would chroot with a copy of the / and sub
directories, do the same thing ?
thanks

Hi,
I needed fakeroot for some tests I'm writing, but it seemed to be Linux
only and looked like it would be hard to port.
So I've written a fakeroot clone for OpenBSD, it's not complete but it
does enough to be useful to me personally, if anyone's interested the
code is here: https://git.vx21.xy
