raid 1 with gmirror && install loader on 2nd disk

[Yance Kowara]

Hi Petre,

I played with gmirror sometime ago following this
howto:
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/11/10/FreeBSD_Basics.html?page=2

I had the same question, and googling gmirror returns
nothing. I posted the 
question on that website and there was no answer.

I tried then to remove the primary hdd, and used the
secondary one as the 
primary... it boots...no problem, no drama.

I stick in a fresh hdd as a secondary, rebuild gmirror
and it's up and 
running as raid1 again, no drama.

If you go to the howto website, another user has
replied to my question and 
he did the same.


Regards,


Yance
