Is it possible to use gmirror to mirror a single BSD partition?
If not: is it possible with other tools?
Yes it is possible, I found this site had very good examples of setting
it up:
http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/
This only documents how to set it up on an entire disk or on a slice.
-Guido
The instructions for mirroring a slice can be modified slightly (by
using the correct devices) to do mirror a single partition.
Please tell me then how these modified instructions look.
I still do not know how to reserve the last sector of the partition.
I can create 1-sector holes using bsdlabel, but I'm not sure this
would be the way to go...
-Guido
Please read Patricks reply to your earlier post re reserving blocks.

You don't need to.
If your bsdlabel partition is N sectors in size, the gmirror
object will have size N - 1. Newfs will not be able to write
to that last sector. You newfs the finished mirror device,

not the individual partitions.
