So, as a generic solution then I could just iterate through all slices of all drives and run "gmirror clear" on each, and run dd to clear the first sectors. What btw is in these first sectors? I use this command because I saw it being done in one of the gmirror tutorials. I understand what the gmirror clear command does, but what is the dd command clearing? _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
