I've been running 8.4 STABLE for a while, but decided to try to use freebsd-update to move to 9.3 I have a pair of 2TB drives in a gmirror. Works fine. I used svn to pull the 8.4 RELEASE source, and built myself an 8.4 RELEASE system. Then, I followed the instructions here: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.3R/installation.html And after the first reboot in to the 9.3 kernel, my gmirror is GONE. This is ALL MY DATA, and the freebsd-update database (/var/db/freebsd-update). After discovering that the mirror was GONE, I did this: sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=17 gmirror label -vb round-robin gm0 /dev/ad14 Which is how I configured the mirror initially (from this http://www.iprobot.net/linux-tutorial/how-to-setup-sofware-raid-in-freebsd/ post). I'm afraid to do anything more. I'm rebuilding 8.4 RELEASE and am going to try to boot into that to see if that works, but then I guess I can't use freebsd-update because it causes my mirror to disappear. What's wrong? How can i get my mirror back?
