You don't want to rebuild a mirror on every boot after clean shutdown. In most cases one can set kern.geom.mirror.timeout to 0 and there will be no problem with this, because even after mirror start is degraded mode new components are not rebuilt if there were no writes, but it will be good to have more general solution... --=20 Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.FreeBSD.org pjd@FreeBSD.org http://garage.freebsd.pl FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
