    Hi All,
    I have a pair of IDE disks which have FreeBSD 4.9 installed on them on two
    mirrored (raid1) raidframe partitions:
    raid0 mounted as /
    raid1 as /usr
    Something went wrong with this installation as it hangs at the startup,
    regardless whether one or both disks are present and I am not able to fix
    it. More importantly, before I reinstall fresh the whole thing, I need to
    save some data from the /usr partition.

    I plugged a third disk in the system and installed on it a vanilla FreeBSD
    5.2.1 kern-developer distribution. I created the config file for the raid
    device, but whenever I try to create the raid device by using 'raidctl -C
    /etc/raid0.conf' the system reboots with:
    "Kernelized RAIDframe activated"
    "RAIDFrame: protectedSectors is 64"
    "Waiting for DAG engine to start"
    "Panic: lockmgr: thread ... 'snip'"

    Any ideas of what is wrong? This is brand new fresh install.
    Thanks, Leo

    The config file and disklabels I used are follows:

    START array
    1 2 0
    START disks
    /dev/ad1s1e
    /dev/ad2s1e
    START layout
    64 1 1 1
    START queue
    fifo 100

    # /dev/ad1s1:
    type: ESDI
    disk: ad1s1
    label:
    flags:
    bytes/sector: 512
    sectors/track: 63
    tracks/cylinder: 16
    sectors/cylinder: 1008
    cylinders: 1657
    sectors/unit: 1670697
    rpm: 3600
    interleave: 1
    trackskew: 0
    cylinderskew: 0
    headswitch: 0 # milliseconds
    track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds
    drivedata: 0

    8 partitions:
    # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
      a: 491520 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0
      b: 262144 491520 swap
      c: 1670697 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't
    edit
      e: 917033 753664 raid
