I've had a lot of success writing out new labels with # bsdlabel -w /dev/mirror/gm0 # bsdlabel -e /dev/mirror/gm0 Editing the partition table by hand is a bummer, but for now, since mirror devices don't show up in fdisk/disklabel tools in /stand/ sysinstall, this is the only way I know of to do it. -Stephen
