Figured it out. The box now boots from /dev/mirror/gm0: klingklang# gmirror status Name Status Components mirror/gm0 DEGRADED ad0 So I try to add /dev/ad1 to the raid with this command: klingklang# gmirror insert gm0 /dev/ad1 Not all disks connected. but /dev/ad1 is there! I can prepare it with the dd command: klingklang# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad1 bs=512 count=79 79+0 records in 79+0 records out 40448 bytes transferred in 0.019480 secs (2076387 bytes/sec) I'm a bit confused.
