How does one accomplish this if one cannot boot? The server is remote, so plugging in the memstick image will be tricky :) I think you have the same issue -> http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-geom/2011-October/005071.html I had the same problem. I destroyed mirror, made gpt partitions on one disk, dumped fs from 8.2, installed 9.0 on this disk, booted from this disk and made new mirror :-) ad->ada is not a problem for gmirror. --- With Best Regards / Ystävällisin terveisin Artem Kajalainen
