Doug> I'll have to test it. I did that. This is not the case. If you run "gmirror help" when gmirror is not loaded, it does not load the module and it prints out a helpful list of things. If you do this on the fixit CD, it prints out a list of four commands: help, list, load and unload. Additionally, I loaded the kernel module manually from /dist/boot/kernel/geom_mirror.ko and this did not change the behaviour of the command.
