Not really. On this machine I had 4 drives: - ar0 (formed with ad4 & ad6) for the system; - previously ar1 (formed with ad8 & ad10) for the data/home directories. Now, the data are simply mounted on ad8, but the first mirror still exists... If I try to break volontarily the first miror not to use the ar(4) driver, is it possible to reuse it later in order to be able to rebuild the mirors in the futur? -- -jpeg.
