boot0cfg and gmirror ...

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Hi, all,

> boot0cfg: /dev/mirror/m0: ioctl DIOCSMBR: Operation not permitted

Simple solution: don't use boot0cfg - use fdisk.
I get the bogus (?) "Geom not found" message every time,
but the active partition seems to be updated correctly.

The only dicussion of this topic that I found dates back to
2005:

http://freebsd.monkey.org/freebsd-current/200507/msg00156.html

Still not quite sure about possible implications, but
I am happy as long as it works.

Any caveats?

Thanks,
Patrick
