Basically, I get the same error message as if fstab contained an invalid /, asking you for the correct device of the root partition. Do you think it would be possible to have ata send out mails or at least log to syslog in case a mirror degrades? As beeping controllers will largely go unnoticed in a datacenter some 20km away ;-) Best regards, Gabriel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.0.2i iQEVAwUBPbKTUsZa2WpymlDxAQFgOggApxn6XIYM/VGR1ETAJ3DaPIEebgnwSvP/ jKLroWY+DBMuXK0pL7piT4PFTMb+xx4+EsWrzOxFXrIBGo8oxDi8kagy/4WYYvC3 d663EbXTutpFI6Uhd6fB0uSPv1JHwnEGn31V/P5jJ44Oj7v2q3x/Icq8TdA1IhsA euz4QuGskeq6IZFE2Jgjq79gWWRtT65BG5t7okQoYVN6Mk+aXrow/M7fMbxt1843 SC2qZ5JPiO0J3+UmSPesVRxa70zv3jJgpjoRTqu56qjY9mM/KrHWbx9d4b+WabKa xrYohAEuPLmcLGDXiryuUhtB++Q4qWYyNEyt5h9QC4UB2lcc5S7aRA== =nLXt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
