> EXAMPLES
> An example to create a 3 chunk RAID 1 from scratch is as follows:
>
> Initialize the partition tables of all disks:
>
> # fdisk -iy wd1
> # fdisk -iy wd2
> # fdisk -iy wd3
>
> Now create RAID partitions on all disks:
>
> # printf "a\n\n\n\nRAID\nw\nq\n\n" | disklabel -E wd1
> # printf "a\n\n\n\nRAID\nw\nq\n\n" | disklabel -E wd2
> # printf "a\n\n\n\nRAID\nw\nq\n\n" | disklabel -E wd3
>
> Assemble the RAID volume:
>
> # bioctl -c 1 -l /dev/wd1a,/dev/wd2a,/dev/wd3a softraid0
>
> And here I end up with the following error "bioctl: BIOCCREATERAID: Invalid
> argument"
