It's worth noting that SoftRAID for encryption is mutually exclusive with SoftRAID for redundancy: "Note that "stacking" softraid modes (mirrored drives and encryption, for example) is not supported at this time."[1]

- accrual 8y agoOne can certainly stack softraid volumes but I think the FAQ indicates you won't receive support if something goes wrong. # bioctl -c 1 -l /dev/sd1a,/dev/sd2a softraid0: RAID 1 volume attached as sd3 # ... # bioctl -c C -l /dev/sd3a softraid0 New passphrase: Re-type passphrase: softraid0: CRYPTO volume attached as sd4 # I've personally used a setup like this since around OpenBSD 6.0.

- ben_bai 8y agoIt does work if you do it manually. The nested softraid will not be assembled at boot. Thus oficially unsupported.
