We created a few 8.3-RELEASE systems with boot mirrors using onboard Intel ICH10R. The system picks up the mirror with "ataraid" and I see it in dmesg like this: ar0: 114312MB <DDF RAID1> status: READY But it seems that graid is a much better option, and ataraid has problems (I am seeing chatter on freebsd-fs and other places about problems). Is it possible for us to migrate this boot mirror to graid ? Can we just leave the mirror as-is (since it was bios formatted) and just start using graid ? Has anyone done this switch on a live system, or is it impossible (and we need to reformat and start over) ? Thanks.
