Just wondering if 9.1 will bring any improvement to the situation of creating a
full disk geom mirror while also using GPT partition table?
I'm curious about what this is about. Could you refer me to an article
or a discussion where this issue is described ?
The GPT backup partition tables goes at the end of a disk, the same
place gmirror(8) and other GEOM modules keep metadata. If GPT
partitions are created inside a mirror, the backup GPT table is no
longer at the end of the disk. Hiroki Sato created a patch which fixed
the gptboot complaints, but there was concern about the nonstandard
location of the backup table.
At present, MBR partitioning is recommended with gmirror(8).
