In response to Anton Shterenlikht <mexas@bristol.ac.uk>: > On FBSD 8.0-current ia64 I've gmirror on 63GB partition, which > takes quite a long time to rebuild, perhaps 30 min. Is it > safe to reboot, or write to this filesystem, while it is > being rebuilt (gmirror status DEGRADED) ? Yes. Doing so will cause the overall time required to rebuild to take longer, but gmirror will continue to rebuild during normal system activities (such as disk writes and reboots). -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~wmoran/
