This tells you that the mediasize of your disk ad0 is smaller than the=20 mediasize of your mirror on ad2. In simple words, disk ad0 seems to be=20 smaller than disk ad2 (ie. a mirror with a capacity of 160GB can't be=20 mirrored to a disk with only 120GB). I would try to set up a second mirror (ie. /mirror/gm1) on your smaller dis= k=20 (ad0). Then dump/restore data from /mirror/gm0s1a (ad2) to the /mirror/gm1s= 1a=20 (ad0) and edit fstab on /mirror/gm1s1a. After that reboot into /mirror/gm1s= 1a=20 and destroy the mirror on the bigger disk (ad2) and insert /dev/ad2=20 into /mirror/gm1.
