--2fHTh5uZTiUOsy+g Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello! I cannot delete the gmirror metadata with gmirror clear, I guess the problem is that the partition size changed, because I put the disk into a raid-controller and that the controller changed the disk size, because it added metadate to it, too. Now my question is, how can I clear the metadata block via dd? I think dd skip=3D(size_of_hd_in_512_bytes_blocks-gmirror-size) if=3D/dev/zero of=3D/dev/amrd0 count=3D?? should do the job, but I am not aware how many bytes to clear.
