I did mean while the device was attached.. we can't possibly gleam anything useful about it before it's even detected.
How is that statement about RAID even remotely relevant to anything? are you referring to the
softraid(4) attach message? softraid is a new driver for software RAID, it supports many different disciplines.
softraid0 at root does not indicate RAID 0, it is simply a numbered device node.
Maybe you're confused, but we are not the developers of OpenBSD.. this is a community comprised mostly of occasional users and enthusiasts.
