If you're mirroring the disk with gmirror, how are you dual-booting the disk? This discussion is about using gmirror to mirror two entire disks, and then use GPT to partition the mirror device. Dual-booting has no bearing on that, as gmirror is a FreeBSD-only technology. Cheers, Freddie Cash fjw

Hi everyone, We're recycling an old database server with room for 16 disks as a backup server (our old database servers had 12-20 15k disks; the new ones one or two SSDs and they're faster). We have a box running FreeBSD 8.2 with 7 disks in a ZFS raidz2 (and a spare). It's using an older 3war

Can't you just create a slice, make a gmirror out of your slice, and then slice your mirror again? This is the way you would do it for mdadm on Linux (probably with swap outside the mirror). (and in the old days you would have 2 copies of /boot non-mirrored; dunno about today) Am 17.02.2012 22:0
