Hi!

With NetBSD-1.4.2_ALPHA I successfully created a RAID 1 with 2 18 GB
SCSI disks (sd1 and sd2). After a system crash the RAID 1 device
(/dev/raid0d) was fsck-ed successfully and the raid seems to be fully
operational but as boot message I see now:

  RAIDFRAME: protectedSectors is 64
  raid0: Component /dev/sd1a being configured at row: 0 col: 0
 	   Row: 0 Column: 0 Num Rows: 1 Num Columns: 2
 	   Version: 1 Serial Number: 72861750 Mod Counter: 43
 	   Clean: 0 Status: 0
  /dev/sd1a is not clean!
  raid0: Component /dev/sd2a being configured at row: 0 col: 1
 	   Row: 0 Column: 1 Num Rows: 1 Num Columns: 2
 	   Version: 1 Serial Number: 72861750 Mod Counter: 43
 	   Clean: 0 Status: 0
  /dev/sd2a is not clean!

Does the '/dev/sd{1,2}a is not clean!' mean real harm, or is it just
cosmetic? Especially in the first case how to fix it?

Another question: With the mounted /dev/raid0d 'raidctl -s raid0' just
says:

  raidctl: unable to open device file: /dev/raid0d

-> Are all these control and reconstruct raidctl commands only
available for unmounted raid devices??
