-- quoting Christian Hiris --
If you use the whole disk as provider and your disk has left free 512
bytes after the end of the last slice, gmirror setup works very easy and
fast (no need to use dump/restore or dd):
- Boot into the live-filesystem.
- Do a 'gmirror load' and

Why going outside and searching the internet?
You have a complete operating system, and it's one of the best
documented out there. Just 'man ata', 'man atacontrol' and 'man
gmirror'. Remember that FreeBSD isn't just a hacked kernel with lots of

Problem is, that man page says atacontrol rebuild is only valid on
RAID capable ATA controllers. But since I have no such controller, I
can't use this command.
Ahh, would it be possible to dd data to the new disk?
And if yes: Is this the

I don't know why this is in the man page, last time I read it (some
years ago) it was not in there.
You can use the rebuild command also on non-raid controllers, at least
it was possible for me when I did some tests about 3 months ago.
As I can see

Any docs for gmirror except man page out there anywhere? Something like how
to use it for root file system, how to convert a non-gmirror system,
kernel configuration etc.
Short time ago there was a thread on the current list:

Buddy, software RAIDs had always been a pain in the neck. they simply
are not worth it as the kernel is busy babysitting the RAID and other
applications suffer. Also in case of software RAID failures, it is a
nightmare.
I do not think so.

Why not, but you also have gmirror and ataraid, the former only on 5.3.
For ataraid you can use 'atacontrol create RAID1 ad4 ad6' for example
For gmirror you can use 'gmirror label -v -b split -s 2048 mrr ad4 ad6'
And you mentioned vinum and ccd

You got me wrongly. The primary reason why I would make a RAID is
fault tolerance. In case of hardware RAIDs, rebuilding a

Hi all,
I want to create a software RAID 1 of two same disks. Coming from Linux I
am used to the very simple /etc/raidtab files. Now I looked into vinum
docs in FreeBSD handbook, and it seems somewhat difficult to me.
So my question is: Is vinum the only way to create a software RAID 1 from
