Although I am not using Matrix RAID, I guess I will switch to gmirror to be safe. Does the following approach seem valid? 1) Break the mirror (ar0) 2) Reboot using ad0 3) (from the link http://lantech.geekvenue.net/chucktips/jason/chuck/1175552464/index_html ): Step 1: Use sysctl to allow the mounted disk to be modified Step 2: Create the mirror (gm0) using ad0 with gmirror Step 3: Modify /boot/loader.conf to load gmirror on startup Step 4: Replace ar0 with gm0 in /etc/fstab Step 6: Use gmirror insert command to add ad1 to gm0 Step 7: Check the mirroring status with gmirror statusShould I just call the mirror ar0 instead of gm0 and save doing step4? Any problem with that? Thanks in advance. Mark Make the switch to the world's best email. Get Yahoo!7 Mail! http://au.yahoo.com/y7mail
