I have initialized all the raid disk and transfer from boot partition to =
the raid devices, set raid to boot from raid sets. I have also changed =
the fstab for the new raid settings.

I have set autoconf for boot up as follows;

raidctl -A root raid1 (my raid root file system)
raidctl -A yes raid0 (raid swap file)
raidctl -A yes raid2
raidctl -A yes raid3
raidctl -A yes raid4 (stripped raid10)

Do I need to do autoconf to raid2 and raid3 in order to turn on raid4 as =
stripped?

Anyhow I did that. But after reboot, it complains about raid4 not =
configured.

I reboot the system with all autoconf turned off. Then disklabel raid4 =
says

the device is not configured.

I have to initialize the raid4 again with raidctl -C /etc/raid4.conf =
raid4,
raidctl -I 123455 raid4
raidctl -iv raid4

The interesting thing is raidctl -iv raid4 does not show any progress of =
initialization and only takes 2 seconds. I suspect it is not done =
properly. However, when I do disklabel raid4 again after this, the =
previously setting is back and raid4 can be mounted. What did I do =
wrong?
