This does not apply for 7.2 Also the real issue for this is that /etc/fstab contains one new line at the end of the file like this: ^@^@^@^@ Removing that line fixes this. Another thing that I've noticed is that /boot/loader.conf content it missing. Needs to be re-created again. And then you can boot into your mirrored root partition. Does anyone know why these happen - I mean the strange entry in fstab and the empty loader.conf files? Regards, Marin
