But that might be my ignorance. Because those two providers share the same last sector, so they share the same metadata and there is no information by default, which provider is the right one (you should add '-h' option). IMHO this is a better behaviour, because you can move your disk, copy it to another disk via dd(1), etc. and it will be still recognized by gmirror. --=20 Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.FreeBSD.org pjd@FreeBSD.org http://garage.freebsd.pl FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
