I am having trouble after acrash. My gmirror is composed from 2 3TB disks with SU journaling (tunefs -j). I hoped that journaling will allow fast restart in case of a crach but no luck. When fsck with journling is enabled i receive: "Directory XXXX not found" and then i need to do full manual fsck That was a problem number one. From bug reports i've read that it is impossible to fix and is related to write caching. But then every crash i have gmirror rebuilding and it continues rebuilding while doing fsck on 3TB mirror. This is PAINFULLY slow (3+ hours?) I don't see any way to pause gmirror rebuild for the time fsck is running. Is there? Is there any suggestion how to speed up startups in my case after a crash?
