And one day i thought i could try the gpart stuff. I also saw the message at startup, and disgarded it. This was on 8.1 But when i did an upgrade to 8.2 later on, the system could not boot. So i had to find another way. So i would not do it like you do now, it could turn against you in the long run. The thing i did was to mirror each partition. Like so http://unix-heaven.org/node/24 that way it worked. Do not forget to make your second disk bootable also regards, Johan Hendrikshome | help
