https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=222425 --- Comment #15 from Louis <lrb@minmet.org> --- (In reply to Christos Chatzaras from comment #14) Interesting. In my case, I wasn't trying to set up gmirror, but just to copy a 500 GB disk onto a 2 TB one, because I was running out of space. (The machine is my desktop, incidentally.) I did this backup/restore thing, figured I'd keep the 1st partition, and delete/recreate the others with larger sizes. Maybe that also had something to do with triggering the bug. I do wonder why I'm not using the occasion to switch to ZFS. Probably because I'm a bit conservative and don't fully trust it yet, LOL. So I get these problems instead! I have other boxes set up with UFS and gmirror and did manage to get them to the point where they'd boot off either drive. Somehow, I didn't end up triggering the bug that time. I wonder why not. Maybe because I didn't try to delete/recreate any partitions? It reminds me of the interesting time I had setting up gmirror on a hosted server, where FreeBSD isn't supported, and I was trying to do it without having to have a KVM put in. I did manage it once, but only after practicing it on a test box at home first! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
