Ok, now I need to replace a good disk that I think has a bad
block (getting a bunch of soft SCSI errors).

Is this OK:

    (1) gmirror remove gm0 da1
    (2) power down
    (3) replace drive
    (4) power up
    (5) gmirror insert gm0 da1

or do I need to run forget after the remove command?

Thanks,

m
