>Description:
I had a config file which raidctl was attempting to read to specify
which partitions a raid level 1 device was using.  Unfortunately,
I copied the example from the manpage, and failed to change the total
of 3 disks to 2.

The errors I saw were bizarre ioctl failures (no such device, I believe),
and these messages which I was able to see using dmesg:

RAIDFRAME: failed rf_ConfigureDisks with 2
RAIDFRAME: protectedSectors is 64
raidlookup on device: START layout failed!
Closing vnode for row: 0 col: 0
Closing vnode for row: 0 col: 1
Closing vnode for row: 0 col: 2
vnode was NULL
RAIDFRAME: failed rf_ConfigureDisks with 2

raidctl can certainly have better error checking, such that when obviously
bogus config files are passed to it, it complains.
