Hi hackers,

is there a way to assign a hot spare disk/partition to a gmirror -ed
disks/partitions ?

That's a good question. From the man pages there doesn't seem to exist
anything to mark a insert disk as "disabled". Atacontrol has a "addspare"
option.

Just in case, to replace a faulty (SCSI) disk:

gmirror remove gm0 da1
camcontrol stop da1
camcontrol rescan all
camcontrol rescan all (after inserting replacement)
gmirror insert gm0 da1

The same procedure in atacontrol would be similar to:

atacontrol detach 3
atacontrol attach 3
atacontrol addspare ar0 ad6
atacontrol rebuild ar0

Good luck,
