Dear list, I installed a freebsd with freebsd on a zfs root and only one disk: pool: zroot state: ONLINE scan: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM zroot ONLINE 0 0 0 ada0p3 ONLINE 0 0 0 This disk was now insterted into the computer and boots fine. The next step I wanted was to setup a mirror with a second disk. So I inserted a second disk, configured everything with gpart and added the disk to the zroot with: zpool add zroot gpt/disk1 (I think I had to execute zpool add zroot mirror gpt/disk1, this is not clear from the man page) And now I have a problem, it seems not to be a mirror but a stripe: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM zroot ONLINE 0 0 0 ada0p3 ONLINE 0 0 0 gpt/disk1 ONLINE 0 0 0 Is there any chance to get it into a mirror? I don't think there was anything written to the second disk but I cannot remove it anymore. Has anyone a tip for me, howto convert the stripe to a mirror?
