Ok with an updated RELENG_5 and g_mirror.c patched with v 1.34, 1.35 and 1.36 and also with your gmirror.patch, which adds g_waitidlelock() I still get the setrootbyname failed message and then it goes to the mountroot> prompt. I'll try without the gmirror.patch and see how that goes, but it will be a few hours because syncing takes a while on two 120G disks. Something that still bothers me are those GEOM_MIRROR: Cannot update metadata on disk ad0 (error=1). messages I get with the standard RELENG_5 kernel. Why do it only happen to ad0 and never to ad2? Is it really a write error or did the error happen somewhere else inside geom? John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@icomtek.csir.co.za / jhay@FreeBSD.org
