Hello!
Since i had a bad sector and corrected it i decided also to check how my
mirror is in sync.
What i found out that two disks have totally dfferent starting bytes.
Cannot for sure what's there,
but it seems like one disk has a bootloader and anoter one does not. So,
if disk with bootloader fails i will not
be able to boot from the mirror disk.
dd if=/dev/ada1 of=./z1 bs=512 count=16
# strings z1
EFI u
PARTu
E(f;
E,f;D
Boot loader too large
Invalid partition table
I/O error loading boot loader
Missing boot loader

dd if=/dev/ada2 of=./z1 bs=512 count=16
# strings z2

Am I correct? How to fix it?
