I can confirm that "gmirror dump" shows metadata there. But the mirrored setup isn't actually constructed so I can't use it. It's also unclear to me how to best ask the kernel to manually try activating a GEOM label based upon written metadata. Presently, a "geom activate" has no effect at all - exit status 0 and yet, still, nothing appears in /dev/mirror/. >How-To-Repeat: Try to create a gmirror GEOM setup as above. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
