Thanks for the links Ivan... They answered some of my questions, but mostly they don't really describe what I wanna do, because they mostly refer to more than one client mounting a gmirrored+ggated device. I want just one server to mount a gmirrored device, exported from two different boxes through ggated. Being more specific: - Servers X and Y will be file server. They will have big sized identical partitions (for example /dev/da0s1f), that will be exported through ggated, and of course not mounted on servers X and Y. - Server A will ggatec the remote /dev/da0s1f devices from both servers X and Y (/dev/ggate0 and /dev/ggate1). Then, server A will create the mirror with the devices ggate0 and ggate1: # gmirror label -v -b round-robin data ggate0 # gmirror insert data ggate1 # mount /dev/mirror/data /mnt Just server A will mount /dev/mirror/data RW (or even RO).
