| ha-db1# gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad4s1
| gmirror: Can't store metadata on /dev/ad4s1: Operation not permitted.
| ha-db1# sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
| kern.geom.debugflags: 0 -> 16
| ha-db1# gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad4s1
| gmirror: Can't store metadata on /dev/ad4s1: Operation not permitted.
|

|
| ha-db1# fdisk -vp ad4
| # /dev/ad4
| g c1453521 h16 s63
| p 1 0xa5 63 72340632

Hi there,
sysinstall is piece of crap when it comes to gmirror'ing slices.
I recall that I had numerous problems with it and that I couldn't find
any solution nor workaround but doing slicing by hand.
Have serial console handy if you don't have physical access to the system.
I hope this 2857574857th whine about bugs in sysinstall will reach to
someone capable of fixing it.
