Hi,=0A=0AI have a gmirror system (FreeBSD 6.3). Normally on seagate.com I c=
an see that both disk (ST3250310AS=A0 and ST3250318AS) have same layout and=
 the sizes are equal. I have built gmirror using http://people.freebsd.org/=
~rse/mirror/=A0what I want to ask is that ad6 was broken and i have replace=
d it with the new one (new ad6) both on the fdisk command output=A0 i see d=
ifferent sizes (ad6 is bigger than ad4). What i want to ask is that if i re=
build mirror using following command does that break OS ?=0A=0A# sysctl ker=
