Hello, recently I have been trying to make a mirror on two 9.2GB SCSI drives. I followed the 18.4 chapter from handbook but unfortunately it didn't work, when I was trying to insert second disk to mirror, "Provider da0 too small." appeared. It was strange because those hdds are theoretically equal in size. I googled little bit and it turned out that checking disks size with /usr/sbin/diskinfo -v /dev/da[01] is important - disks must be either completely equal or the second must be a little bit smaller. In my case the solution was to change SCSI ID using jumpers. I think that adding information about diskinfo would be really helpful for people. -- Best regards, Wojciech Łukowicz
