Hi, I set up FreeBSD 5.3 with gmirror for my 2 ide disks ad0 and ad1. So the rootfs is included in the mirror. I wanted to test what happens when one disk fails, so I removed ad1. Unfortunately after a reboot the system didn't boot anymore with the error: GEOM_MIRROR: Force device mirror0 start due to timeout and GEOM_MIRROR: Device mirror0 destroyed So I mounted the rootfs from ad0: which worked fine. I attached the ad1 again, rebooted and booting from the mirror went and gmirror rebuilded the raid. My next test was putting ad1 off and replacing it with a new hd, did that, rebooted and again: GEOM_MIRROR: Force device mirror0 start due to timeout and GEOM_MIRROR: Device mirror0 destroyed Why is that? Shouldn't gmirror detect the new drive and rebuild the mirror? Thanks!
