This is a new issue, but there is quite simlar issue already: when one of the mirror's components is down, root file system also can't be mounted, because gmirror waits some time for all components to come. I've a patch which should solve your problem: http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/root_mount.patch but it is not going to be committed, as phk asked me to hold on, he will provide some more complete solution. --=20 Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.FreeBSD.org pjd@FreeBSD.org http://garage.freebsd.pl FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
