I have a supermicro server which was running Freebsd 7.1 with 2 SATA drives. I have had G mirror running on the server. I needed to do a full reinstall of freebsd but was unable to disengage the mirror at th= e time. When installing Freebsd, on to the drives i see i have AD4 AD6 and AR= 0 on the disk label, i have installed the new free bsd in AD4, and the system would not boot. I have come across this before where i have to remove AR0 to default the drive, i can remember reading a thread on how to use =93fix it=94 and using= the live cd. I have google but cannot find it Please is there any one here that can refresh my memory and tell me how to remove gmirror from my drives so i can do a fresh install,. Thanmks Mick
