How does gmirror know of a faulty drive

[Brian A. Seklecki]

No answers?

I just actually replied to a thread about this.  Apparently there is no 
automatic demotion of a device to DEGRADED.  I just had a provider error 
for a good 5 minutes of SCSI kernel messages (bad sectors, grown defects), 
without any automatic corrective action taken by gmirror(4)

My original message was held of moderation.
