My user was also in wheel so that should not be the problem. If your user is in operator it might be another matter though (new test): [simon@trillian:~] id uid=2000(simon) gid=2000(simon) groups=2000(simon), 0(wheel), 5(operator), 68(dialer) [simon@trillian:~] ll /dev/mirror/sys0 crw-r----- 1 root operator 233, 3 Jan 6 11:23 /dev/mirror/sys0 [simon@trillian:~] gmirror stop sys0 Cannot destroy device sys0 (error=16). [simon@trillian:~] gmirror stop -f sys0 <hang> I don't have a console on the system right now but I assume it got unhappy that I pulled the device under the file system :-). I'm not really sure it is expected that you can do that when being in the operator group. -- Simon L.
