Although I am not using Matrix RAID, I guess I will switch to gmirror to be safe. Does the following approach seem valid?
1) Break the mirror (ar0)
2) Reboot using ad0
3) (from the link
http://lantech.geekvenue.net/chucktips/jason/chuck/1175552464/index_html ):
Step 1: Use sysctl to allow the mounted disk to be modified
Step 2: Create the mirror (gm0) using ad0 with gmirror
Step 3: Modify /boot/loader.conf to load gmirror on startup
Step 4: Replace ar0 with gm0 in /etc/fstab
Step 6: Use gmirror insert command to add ad1 to gm0
Step 7: Check the mirroring status with gmirror statusShould I just call the mirror ar0 instead of gm0 and save doing step4? Any problem with that?
Thanks in advance.
