Engelschall created a good guide: > http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ > > See 'GEOM mirror Approach 2: Single Slice, Preferred, More Flexible' I _know_. This guide was first mentioned by me in this thread. But it assumes - install - boot - create mirror on second disk - copy data - reboot - sync mirror Now Joao said, creating a mirrored disk can be done from the "emergency holographic shell" at install time. OK, fine. Spares the copying. My question was: can I create a mirrored slice instead of a mirrored disk without copying the data at install time from the emergency shell? Otherwise I will still have to use Ralf's instructions, which are a bit more work to follow.
