I think you are making this harder than is needs to be. When in doubt defer to the Handbook and the man pages. This also a good page http://onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/11/10/FreeBSD_Basics.html

Also two identical HD's may be mirrored but they will not really ever be same state in terms of caching, performance, etc. -- Adam Vande More _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
