The following reply was made to PR kern/169539; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Alexander Motin <mav@FreeBSD.org> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, alter@alter.org.ua Cc: Subject: Re: kern/169539: [geom] [patch] fix ability to run gmirror on MSI MegaRaid (/dev/ar* vs /dev/gm*) Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2013 03:40:23 +0200 I don't think that hacking gmirror to move its metadata is a right approach to the problem. It will make metadata detection complicated and depending on some external knowledge. Why just not partition the disks and not use gmirror on top of partition table? If partition will not use the last sector of the disk, controller should be happy and gmirror won't need any hacks. -- Alexander Motin
