I created a new mirror using these instructions:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/geom-mirror.html

gpart show mirror/gm0s1
=>         0  3907028979  mirror/gm0s1  BSD  (1.8T)
           0           2                - free -  (1.0k)
           2   335544320             1  freebsd-ufs  (160G)
   335544322   209715200             2  freebsd-ufs  (100G)
   545259522   209715200             4  freebsd-ufs  (100G)
   754974722  3152054256             5  freebsd-ufs  (1.5T)
  3907028978           1                - free -  (512B)

But this:

gmirror status
      Name    Status  Components
mirror/gm0  DEGRADED  ad12 (ACTIVE)
                      ad10 (SYNCHRONIZING, 0%)

has been true for 12 hours.

How can I find out what is happening and why no progress is being made?

There are no messages to the console indicating any problem.

Thanks,
Bill Dudley
