I am following the doc at http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/

While using Approach 2, the initial dump and reboot using the new gm0
mirror worked fine, but having a problem trying to add my da0 drive to
the mirror after the reboot. Can someone suggest what I've done wrong?

files# gmirror configure -a gm0s1
No such device: gm0s1.
files# df -h
