Hello!

I searched for ICH9 incidences but they seem to be before the 7.0 RELEASE 
issue ...

On the other hand, after 29 hours doing:

# dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/ad2

488397168+0 records in
488397168+0 records out
250059350016 bytes transferred in 100693.444175 secs (2483373 bytes/sec)

I repeated:

# gmirror insert gm0 /dev/ad2

and it worked:

# grep GEOM_MIRROR /var/log/messages

Apr 21 11:23:52 mail_2 kernel: GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: rebuilding provider 
ad2
Apr 21 12:42:11 mail_2 kernel: GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: rebuilding provider 
ad2 finished.

# gmirror list

Now my problem is that I'm not felling sure with this machine & operating 
system ...

Does any way to make an stressing test to the disks?

I want to be sure before putting the machine at production level ...

Thanks,
