Blanking the beginning of the drive did the trick. % dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 bs=1m count=600 > 1. What is the best way to journal whole disks whose slices (without > partitions) are used by gconcat and gmirror? Does the same apply for > gvinum? % gjournal label /dev/ad0 % gjournal load (Don't newfs the journal; wait for concat) % gconcat load % gconcat label ports ad0.journals11 % newfs /dev/concat/ports % mount /dev/concat/ports /mnt/ports Add new slices to the journal, not the disk. % gpart add -i 12 ad0.journal Setting up a gmirrored gconcat did not work. Another guy tried gconcatted gmirrors and had a similar result [1]. He was able to fix the problem with fsck, which did not work for me: [1] http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=0+0+archive/2006/freebsd-geom/20060806.freebsd-geom This was the result when trying to rsync /usr/ports to /mnt/ports (/dev/mirror/ports). #/var/log/messages ...

I have ruled out the disk being bad because it works fine with gmirror OR gconcat, just not both. Regards, Ross
