B= ut what should i do with failure? How to mount disk on another node or star= t it after failure? You cannot open any GEOM provider for writting twice. If you try to start ggatec on one server, ggated on the other server tries to open given partition, but it fails when it is already open on this server. Bascially, if you call: # ggatec create -u 10 -o rw 192.168.100.110 /dev/da1s1d You must be sure /dev/da1s1d on server 192.168.100.110 is not opened for writting already. > And one more question: is there any way to get gmirror to re mirror devic= es before carp interfaces become up?
