Hi, I want to set up GEOM mirror of whole existing partitioned 250G disk. The procedure described at <http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/> seems to be rather long/complicated. I thought about using this:

# Boot into single user, then... # First change fstab. cp -p /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.orig sed -e 's/dev\/ad0/dev\/mirror\/gm0/g' </etc/fstab.orig >/etc/fstab # Then create the mirror. gmirror label -v -b split -s 2048 mymirror ad0 gmirror insert -h mymirror ad2 # Reboot into the new World order. shutdown -r now

Will this work or is it wrong? I appreciate any comment to this.
