Following Ralf's how-to. Successfully ran: gmirror label -v -n -h -b round-robin gm0s1 /dev/ad2s1 Get this message on gmirror load: GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0s1 created (id=1024834944). GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0s1: provider ad2s1 detected. GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0s1: provider ad2s1 activated. GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0s1: provider mirror/gm0s1 launched. GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0 created (id=1640242348). GEOM_MIRROR: Cannot open consumer ad0 (error=1). GEOM_MIRROR: Cannot add disk ad0 to gm0 (error=1). GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0 destroyed. I'm assuming that's not good. If I ignore that and carry on and bsdlabel /dev/mirror/gm0s1 so it looks exactly like /dev/ad0s1 (except a has offset of 16 and a's size is decreased by 16), I again run into problems when I go to insert the first drive into the mirror: gmirror insert gm0s1 /dev/ad0s1 Provider ad0s1 too small. Which is frustrating seeing the 2 drives are identical hardware, fdisk'd identically and labelled identically (except the offset 16 thing). Suggestions appreciated.
