The SATA controller mode (Emulation vs. Native vs. AHCI) isn't what's responsible here. I've documented what tickles the message in question on a standard (non-gmirror) install below, and what "fixed" it as of 8.0-RC2: http://koitsu.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/testing-out-freebsd-8-0-rc1/ http://koitsu.wordpress.com/2009/11/02/testing-out-freebsd-8-0-rc2/ I hope this information helps you in some way given the details, but I cannot help with regards to the gmirror part of things or how it fits into the puzzle. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
