What I did to meet my needs of "growable but reliable" was to use a
gconcat array of gmirrors.
I never did add the second drives to the gmirror's so I never did get
the reliability part of my dream. But at least you can create a gmirror
with one drive and a gconcat of that.
This was all before ZF
Hi Rudi,
Seems like you are hitting the same growfs bug that gets all of us that
try to do this simple task.
growfs needs a patch to use 64 bit math inside...
I created such a beast a while back, based on some earlier work and
fixed it up a bit myself.
I'm a bit surprised that this hasn't been

Hi Folks,
I'm hoping freebsd-goem is the correct place for this question.
I had a server crash that had a gmirror array of two drives. It was my
bootable disk and it failed in such a way that it wouldn't recover
without swapping cables.
So the original gmirror, gm0, had /dev/ad10 and /dev/ad11 a
(error=5). ad10[READ(offset=891224874496,
length=4096)]
+GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad10 disconnected.
