You can use entire drives (ad4), single slices (ad4s1), or individual partitions (ad4s1d) with ZFS. Create two slices; install to and use s1 on both drives for the gmirror RAID1; and use s2 on both drives for a ZFS RAID1. -- Freddie Cash fjwc...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
