Sorry for my bad explanation! I'm using `gpart modify -l part1disk1 -i 2 ad4` and `gpart modify -l part1disk2 -i 2 ad6` so I have /dev/gpt/part1disk1 and /dev/gpt/part1disk2 Now I want to use these as providers for geom_mirror: `gmirror label -b load MIRROR1 gpt/part1disk2 gpt/part1disk2` gmirror prints that metadata was successfully written (to provider=20 gpt/part1diskX) but in fact geom_mirror doesn't jump in and detect the=20 mirror.
