Hi, one of my clients had a problem with their server and had to cold reboot it. It's running 6.0-release-p4. As I feared, the harddrives did not like the reboot, and gmirror now states it is degraded. I have no chance to get to the server console any time soon, so I thought someone could help me check that this procedure I planned is OK - I probably have to explain via telephone or email to the client how to do it, and they certainly aren't technical people.
Boot message: Feb 1 08:40:51 portfolio kernel: GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0 created (id=4091963512). Feb 1 08:40:51 portfolio kernel: GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad4 detected.

Feb 1 08:40:51 portfolio kernel: GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider mirror/gm0 launched. so one of the SATA harddrives is lost from the mirror. The harddrive is probably ok, as it's just one week old. If I understood it correctly, I should do gmirror forget gm0 gmirror insert gm0 ad4 and this should build the mirror again? If this fails, the hd is really physically broken? --Ville gmirror list: Geom name: gm0 State: DEGRADED Components: 2 Balance: round-robin Slice: 4096 Flags: NONE GenID: 1 SyncID: 1 ID: 4091963512 Providers: 1.
