well, really only thing I can think of off hand is conflict gmirror labels
ie inserting into gm0 from another gm0.

a simple

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/adX bs=1M count=1

would fix that if nothing else

if there's was no existing label, there is nothing to do except gmirror man
instructions.  Gmirror is block level mirroring which why no other steps are
needed.
