Hi! Using of gmirror is a legacy decision. I suggest you to study the = documentation on ZFS. It provides many advantages, especially with = larger drives (over 300GB). In particular, ZFS provides quick system recovery when a sudden = power-off (when fsck can run for a very long time). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS https://blogs.oracle.com/roch/entry/when_to_and_not_to http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Best_Practices_Guide http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/index.html https://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSTuningGuide https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Dzpool&sektion=3D8 http://xgu.ru/wiki/ZFS Best Regards, Dmitriy ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Ivan Kurtev=20 To: Dmitriy Kulikov=20 Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2015 12:11 AM Subject: Re: Installing FREEBSD on HP ProLiant DL60 Gen9 Hi Dmitry, Thank you very match for your urgent replay! it was very useful for me.

Buying the server with B140i controller is not good idea for = installing FreeBSD.
