    Hi all,

    I have two disk ad0 and ad2. FreeBSD 5.3 is installed on ad0, I can boot
    from it. Now I want to create a software RAID via gmirror with ad2.

    My question is: how can I create the array with the spare disk so that I
    can reboot from it without loosing any data or reinstall the whole system?

    Hope you can help me on this...
    Greetings and TIA, Matthias
