My computer started out with 2 gmirrored drives on FreeBSD 5.  Back in
March I got two new hard drives and gmirrored them for the extra space.
I quickly discovered that my data was corrupted on writes.  A search of
the bugs database revealed that this was a known issue
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=i386/77643).

I'm out of disk space, and I would really like to use my two extra disks
that have been spinning idle for the past five months, but there has
been no work on the ticket?

Is this the right mailing list to ask in?  I've heard that gmirror still
works in FreeBSD 4.  Should I downgrade?
