>Description:
After a power outage at work, I cleanly shut down the server while it was still running on a UPS - this morning, I tried to boot up the machine I get the "GEOM_MIRROR: Force device gm0 start due to timeout." message, at which point the system just stops booting. The system is not unresponsive, it just does not boot any further.
>How-To-Repeat:
The problem repeats itself on boot.
