Hi there is no need to copy anything around ... - you do install the system as usual - before rebooting you create the to be mirrored disk with the gmirror label command (you do not loose data here) - then you change your fstab acordingly - you reboot - you insert the mirror disk(s) - gmirror should start syncing automatically if you did everything right ready, this is a 3 minute thing João A mensagem foi scaneada pelo sistema de e-mail e pode ser considerada segura.
