It's using raid1 procedure1 from Mr. Ralf S. Engelschall's site: http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ I haven't been able to get procedure2 to boot, i keep getting an error on boot that the kernel is not found. This is worrysome because the two drives are not identical in size, they're close, and usually unless the partitions are filling up i don't worry about it. Lately /var has been filling up, when this box was installed space requirements were not estimated to be like they are now. I've got a single slice covering the entire drive and four partitions, /, /usr, /var, and /home which is last on the drive because it takes up the most space. Now i need to increase the size of /var probably taking space away from /home, does anyone have a procedure for doing this keeping in mind that geom mirror raid1 is going on? Thanks. Dave.
