That is just wrong. My understanding is that the wants to add wd3 later as another part of the raid1. This is what i did with adding two 3TB disks: --------------------------------------------------------- # Add wedge to wd0 gpt create wd0 gpt add -b 64 -s 5851054080 -t raid wd0 dkctl wd0 addwedge Disk_1 64 5851054080 raidframe # Configure the raid raidctl -v -C /root/raid0.conf raid0 # Set the serial number raidctl -v -I $timstamp raid0 # Initialize the raid raidctl -v -i raid0 # Check initialize raidctl -v -s raid0 # Add a wedge to raid0 gpt create raid0 gpt add -b 128 raid0 dkctl raid0 addwedge Raid0 128 5851053855 ffs # Create the file system on the raid newfs -O 2 -b 32k -f 4k -i 256k /dev/rdk1 # Mount it mount /dev/dk1 /mnt # Reboot # Configure the raid again raidctl -v -C /root/raid0.conf raid0 # Add wedge to wd1 gpt create wd1 gpt add -b 64 -s 5851054080 -t raid wd1 dkctl wd3 addwedge Disk_2 64 5851054080 raidframe raidctl -a /dev/dk1 raid0 raidctl -F component1 raid0 # Set auto config raidctl -v -A yes raid0 # Mount it mount /dev/dk2 /mnt --------------------------------------------------------- The only issue is that I have to use dk2 and not the id of the wedge for mounting :( Bernd
