The above process is operator error, as both your gpart and gmirror commands are working on the same GEOM (ad0). You need to stack / layer your GEOMs (ie, do one operation on the disk, the other operations on the sub-parts). Either: 1) gmirror the disk (ad0), and then gpart the mirror device (/dev/mirror/whatever), or 2) gpart the disk (ad0), and the mirror the partititons (/dev/gpt/whatever) The process you list above is the same as partitioning a disk (ad0), and then newfs-ing the disk (ad0), and wondering where your partitions went. :) (I believe option 1 above is what's causing issues in this thread.) -- Freddie Cash fjwc...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ 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"
