I have a 6.1 setup with 4 identical 300GB disks, ad4,6,8,10. I'd like to create a bootable mirror (gm0s1) of all 4 disks on a 512MB slice, and have the remaining space a big slice (gs0s2). I've tried several different things using the docs found @ http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ as a guide, with little luck, what I usually end up with an invalid partition table, or no boot device error when I reboot. I think the key is somehow in how the slices are created on the original (ad4) disk. If someone could provide me with some insight on how to accomplish this that would be very much usefull.
