 Hmm.  Just noticed some daily status messages and I suspect that
 the situation is not as clear as I'd thought before, but I'm not
 sure what is going on.
 
 gmirror status:
       Name    Status  Components
 mirror/gm0  DEGRADED  ad4
 
 and ls /dev/ad*:
 /dev/ad4
 /dev/ad4s1
 /dev/ad6
 /dev/ad6s1
 /dev/ad6s1a
 /dev/ad6s1b
 /dev/ad6s1c
 /dev/ad6s1d
 /dev/ad6s1e
 
 So, clearly ad6 has somehow fallen out of the mirror (it was
 mirroring ad4), and when that happened the images of the
 partition table were picked up as individual file systems, which
 hald proceeded to try to mount.
 
 I suspect that this is really a gmirror and/or devd sort of
 problem, rather than a GNOME/hald sort of problem.
 
 Any other information that I can provide?
