I'm well aware that ZFS mirroring is better. In this case however, I'm more interested in simple full-disk mirroring and automatic/easy recovery. (Like in a test lab... Install FreeBSD on a test-machine with a RAID1 (bay0= and bay1 disks). Pull out the bay1 disk and insert a fresh disk. It will automatically synchronize. Pull this disk. Update the system on the bay0 di= sk for test case #1. Pull it out and insert bay1. Update this system for test = case #2. Perform tests back and forth. Plugin and boot on the first disk (from b= ay1) to revert back to the original state, or easily create a test case #3, or insert it into a another test machine and make it a clone of the first mach= ine. No need for dd-images, no need for bootable USB-sticks or simillar. Just sw= ap around the disks in the test machines.) So when performance, error correction, etc is not important, it would be ni= ce if the installer could install a ZFS system on a BIOS software RAID1. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
