I am unable to find out what is wrong. Here's what I have done so far: I have 2 disks in the box. I have created 2 slices on both of them (ad{4,6}s1 and ad{4,6}s2) through sysinstall. (btw, http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=72895&cat= is really annoying, lucky I had a remote console :-)) Now I want to initialize gmirror on slice 1: ha-db1# gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad4s1 gmirror: Can't store metadata on /dev/ad4s1: Operation not permitted. ha-db1# sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 kern.geom.debugflags: 0 -> 16 ha-db1# gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad4s1 gmirror: Can't store metadata on /dev/ad4s1: Operation not permitted. for additional information, I am including the following: ha-db1# fdisk -vp ad4 # /dev/ad4 g c1453521 h16 s63 p 1 0xa5 63 72340632 a 1 p 2 0xa5 72340695 1392803370 ha-db1# disklabel /dev/ad4s1 # /dev/ad4s1: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 1048576 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 8 b: 25165824 1048576 swap c: 72340632 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit d: 25165824 26214400 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28528 e: 20960408 51380224 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28528 Any ideas will be much appreciated. -- Best regards, Daniel mailto:danger@FreeBSD.org
