Re: Mirroring: gvinum or gmirror?

I've got a write-up of the steps required to do this if you or anyone else
needs them. I also routinely disconnect one of the drives in my mirror
before a major upgrade to the OS or ports so that if I mess it up, I can
boot back to the previous state. I have a write-up of the steps needed to
do this remotely over ssh (again, if you or anyone else needs them).

I for one would like to see your writeup. As I'm starting to
experiment with gmirror I think it would be helpful.

John.
