Hi, my setup is: - one disk ad0 (15GB) with FreeBSD 5.3 installed - two identical disks ad2 and ad3 (15GB) with no data on it I just want to have a mirrored data disk (consisting of two identical disks). I found http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/, but it applies for mirroring a system disk. I went through: gmirror label -v -n -b round-robin gm0s1 /dev/ad3s1 gmirror load gmirror configure -a gm0s1 gmirror insert gm0s1 /dev/ad2s1 add 'geom_mirror_load="YES"' in /boot/loader.conf It loads ok and if I type: "gmirror list" I get the "Providers" and "Consumers" list which all looks ok. But how do I access the mirror? Where can I put my data? I tried adding /dev/mirror/gm0s1 to /etc/fstab, but it dies when loading... Any hints? Christian
