If you've been able to run 'gmirror label' then geom_mirror.ko is almost
certainly already loaded into your kernel, making 'gmirror load'
superfluous. Check using kldstat(8).
The actual problem is getting /dev to update itself and show gmirror
related filesystems. First of all, is /dev a mounted devfs filesystem?
If it is, does playing with devfs(8) yield any enlightenment?
Cheers,
Matthew
