I tried that again today. At least with `atacontrol detach/attach` (plus write access with dd to the raw gmirror device; and I waited between attach and detach until the mirror was sync'ed again) I can still produce funny situations in R6.2: The device ad3s1b was still there and ad3 was not... This might be not the fault of gmirror, but it can well lead to a crash, too. In R6.1 it was possible to disable all access to the gmirror device with frequent disk failures simulated by gnop (the requests never returned, although just one disk was "damaged"). Does anyone here have SATA disks? I have heard it is easy to pull their plug and plug it back in... Any real test results here? -Arne ____________________________________________________________________________________ We won't tell. Get more on shows you hate to love (and love to hate): Yahoo!
