Dear Candy,

This is the log of zpool status, along with partition of c3d0 and c4d0

1. It appears to me that once I destroy the partition of c4d0 and recreate it 
again, I get different "slices" in c4d0. I forgot which fdisk partition I 
chose, it is either Solaris, Solaris2, or Unix System, and it gives the default 
location like that

I think I must manually create slice, but If I look at c3d0, which slice should 
I mirror ? root ? backup ?

2. And, for mirror to works, does it have to reside in the same cylinder in the 
other disk ?

3. For mirroring an IDE device ( since this SATA drive is translated into IDE, 
which is visible if we see in "format" ), Is it correct that it have to be 
slice that is being mirrored, and can't be the whole disk like what I did in 
Fedora 10, using software raid at the installation time ?

Thank you for everyone's guidance
