Hi Petre, I played with gmirror sometime ago following this howto: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/11/10/FreeBSD_Basics.html?page=2 I had the same question, and googling gmirror returns nothing. I posted the question on that website and there was no answer. I tried then to remove the primary hdd, and used the secondary one as the primary... it boots...no problem, no drama. I stick in a fresh hdd as a secondary, rebuild gmirror and it's up and running as raid1 again, no drama. If you go to the howto website, another user has replied to my question and he did the same.
