Right. Did that, but it changed nothing.

Did that too already. :)

Absolutely!

And I found the solution! My wedges and the second RAID I'm
creating on them have likely been the problem:

Booting without these commands in rc.local lets me add wd1a as
spare and reconstruct the RAID.


Unfortunately the sandpoint boot loader doesn't support GPT yet
(and it's my fault, because I wrote it 13 years ago), so I have
to add these wedges manually to get access to the full 4 TB.

Thanks!
