freebsd 5.3, gmirror raid 1, PROBLEM



Hi All,

I've been running a server using FreeBSD 5.3 and gmirror to mirror two identical IDE hard drives. Its been running great for over a year. But recently everything went down and when I reboot and put a monitor on it I get the following errors on screen:

GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad1 disconnected
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider mirror/gm0 destroyed
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: rebuilding provider ad0 stopped

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode... (this is followed by details about the fault)

These errors are preceded by other related error information that flys by on the screen and I have no way of seeing them again.

Does anyone now what steps I should take to figure what is going on and try to recover data or get the machine to boot?

Thanks so much,
S.
