Hi Laszlo, No bugs; I think this is normal. Both the BIOS and the OS are only going to see the blocks the hard drive thinks are useable. Bad sector information is also stored on the disk, and only the OS can interpret this information. Or is it possible that the manufacturer produces the

Hi, I have installed GEOM RAID-1 on three production servers based on Dru's article - with separate / /usr /var /tmp /swap slices. No drama on installation. You also have to figure out what to do when primary or secondary hard disk fails. According to the examples in the gmirror man pages, it
