Hello,

What is the best way to "undo" a geom-based mirror, just out of  
curiosity, and return the configuration to allowing independent  
control over the two disks?

something like this?

gmirror clear mirror/gm0
gmirror remove ad1
gmirror remove ad2

- unload geom, remove from boot/loader.conf
- revise /etc/fstab


Please help me fill in the gaps here, I've never successfully done  
this.... Or, is this procedure inadvisable?
