I tried it with "label" in single user mode, but i do not get it work. The error message is: "too few paramaters". > An example in 'man gmirror' describes how to set up a gmirror array on a disk > with valid data. It uses 'gmirror lable' w/o extra labeling.

The problem is, or seems to be, "gmirror label -v -b load mirror0 da0" does not work for me on a mounted device. If i use another disk, da2 and da3, umount them, gmirror labeling will work. So, in my understanding, i have to boot from another bootable device, and set up gmirror on da0 (where / is sitting an waiting to get mirrored) and da1 while these devices are not mounted. Axel
