Re: gmirror Issues


The major thing that needs doing is a detailed explanation of how to
take two brand new disk drives and mirror them.

You're right. This is a tutorial.

Nothing in the
documentation discusses this.

The in-tree documentation explains the syntax of the admin commands and
the technical aspects of the subsystem.

Do you have to create file systems on the
drives first?

No you use the raw devices.

Do you have to use fdisk to slice them up?

You can do that. It is not required.

Is there a size limit on drives?

The size limit would be file-system related; not gmirror. You're pretty
safe into the terabytes with UFS2

I am trying to mirror two 400G drives, is this
supported?

Sure, follow the RSE link you were sent.

There is no information anywhere that I can find about these
topics.

Always search the mailing list archives.
