You can use the rebuild command also on non-raid controllers, at least it was possible for me when I did some tests about 3 months ago. As I can see you're considering gmirror, perhaps that's the better solution for you. In all cases, simulate a drive failure, so you do know what to do when one drive really fails. -Mano > > How can I rebuild the array on a normal ATA controller? > Greetings, Matthias [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBhVpuBylq0S4AzzwRAvEoAJ9WKkT+0cG175wer1qJZyu2QgDuZwCaA7TG FFr3NCUJZU0TKOrIZO0KcKE= =aw3A -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
