You can boot off the half-mirror and the rebuild with atacontrol once the system is up (its done in the background so you can continue to run but access speed will be degraded). If you want to not use the array you just delete it with atatcontrol and the disk will be seen as a normal ATA drive again. -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
