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.

Cheers,
