NanoBSD 9.1 system hangs at boot: "Root mount waiting for: GRAID"

[allan_sundry]

Hi,

I have server:
- system on flash - NanoBSD 8.2 (8.2-RELEASE-p10 amd64)
- jails on ZFS - zmirror tank

# zpool status
  pool: tank
 state: ONLINE
 scrub: none requested
config:

        NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        tank        ONLINE       0     0     0
          mirror    ONLINE       0     0     0
            ada0    ONLINE       0     0     0
            ada1    ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

Hardware:
- SYS: Supermicro SuperServer 6015V-MRLP
- CPU: 2 x Intel Xeon E5345 2.33GHz
- HDD: 2 x Hitachi Deskstar 7K500

When I install NanoBSD 9.1 system hangs at boot:

GEOM_RAID: Intel-948a5853: Array Intel-948a5053 created.
GEOM_RAID: Intel-948a5853: Disk ada0 state changed from NONE to ACTIVE.
GEOM_RAID: Intel-948a5853: Subdisk Volume0:0-ada0 state changed from NONE to ACTIVE.
GEOM_RAID: Intel-948a5853: Disk ada1 state changed from NONE to ACTIVE.
GEOM_RAID: Intel-948a5853: Array started.
GEOM_RAID: Intel-948a5853: Subdisk Volume0:0-ada1 rebuild start at 0.
GEOM_RAID: Intel-948a5853: Subdisk Volume0 state changed from STARTING to D
Root mount waiting for: GRAID
Root mount waiting for: GRAID
...

message "Root mount waiting for: GRAID" is repeated.

But I do not use a GEOM in system NanoBSD 8.2 or NanoBSD 9.1!

How to fix it?

P.S.

I use the GENERIC kernel.
Most likely the problem is GEOM_RAID in the GENERIC:

# cat /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC | grep GEOM
options         GEOM_PART_GPT           # GUID Partition Tables.
options         GEOM_RAID               # Soft RAID functionality.
options         GEOM_LABEL              # Provides labelization

I'll try to fix the following settings:

# cat /boot/loader.conf 
kern.geom.raid.enable="0"

Are there any other ideas?

That disk was once in a RAID and there is RAID metadata still on it. graid(8) should be able to remove that metadata. Back up first.

I have not tried using graid(8), but the use of

kern.geom.raid.enable = "0"

helped me to fix problem.
