I've set sysctl kern.geom.debugflags to 16 and yet can't label the root partition. # gmirror label -v root /dev/ad4s1a Can't store metadata on /dev/ad4s1a: Operation not permitted. I was able to do this for /var and /usr while they were mounted. Unless someone has any ideas the only solution I see is to put this disk in a different box to create the mirror. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel
