> Hello,

> I wondered if there is a way to gmirroring the whole disk (not slices

>
> GPT puts its metadata at the end of the disk, and when I start to use
> gmirror it overwrites the GPT metadata (... as gmirror puts also its
> metadata at the end of the disk ...).
>
> I noticed a new option in the newfs manpage:
>
> -r reserved
> The size, in sectors, of reserved space at the end of the parti‐
> tion specified in special. This space will not be occupied by
> the file system; it can be used by other consumers such as
> geom(4). Defaults to 0.
>
> I wondered if it could help .. ? Why does it default to 0?

> Thanks,
