Remember that FreeBSD isn't just a hacked kernel with lots of > stuff arround without any sense, it's standardized an documented! ;) Ok, I looked at "man gmirror", but found nothing for my 5.2.1 system. As you mentioned, gmirror is for 5.3 only. I missed "man atacontrol", sorry for this. Now I've looked at its man page, looks good. Only one problem: man page says that I can only rebuild an RAID1 array on RAID capable ATA controllers. But I have no such "real" ATA controller. How can I replace a faulty disk with atacontrol on a normal ATA controller then? Thanks for your help, Emanuel!
