Ok the funny thing is, i get the same error on 8.1 Release (the corrupt error), but it boots, and all seems to work. But i will try the option by First create the mirror and the the gpt partitions.

Yes, GPT has the unfortunate property that it records its data both at the beginning of a drive and at the end, so you cannot use it this way (because gmirror wants the last sector for itself). I haven't tried it but I think from the GPT specification that it records where the secondary table is, so maybe you could do it the other way around: first do a gmirror configuration, then create GPT partitions within the gmirror device (i.e. on /dev/mirror/gm0, not on /dev/ad4). _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
