how to shutdown w/ raidframe raid

[x]

When I build a raid5 array w/ raidframe, things look OK until I try to
reboot the first time after building the array. Before I shut down,
I'm able to mount /dev/raid0, copy files to it, run raidctl -s and
everything looks great.

I shutdown using "shutdown now" command, and when I bring the system
back up, it complains that / was improperly unmounted, and starts to
rebuild the array. Since this is 4 400 gig drives, this takes about
seven hours... Am I shutting the system down improperly?

At first I thought this was due to hitting the 1 terabyte limit (I'm
using OpenBSD 4.1, only modification to the kernel being adding the
raidframe support) so I configured each of the four 400 gig drives to
only use 340 gig. However, I'm not sure if there's a geometry
problem, or a shutdown problem, or what.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

It's hard to tell what's going on from your brief description,
but "# shutdown now" without other options only drops to single user mode,
and does not unmount any partitions.

I use RAIDFrame and do not have difficulties when using the "# halt -p"
or "# reboot" commands.
