Hi
If i've understood correctly gmirror uses the last sector on the
provider for a metadata.
If one uses http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/11/10/
FreeBSD_Basics.html to setup a gmirror'ed system, that is haveing a
fully used disk
where the last sector is used (right?) and converting it to a
gmirror, this will overwrite whatever is on the last sector, right?
This will probably not be overwritten on a non-full fs, but if the fs
gets full later, is there any risk that this sector get's
overwritten? Does one have to shrink the fs/slice manually or
something to make sure this does not happend?
I haven't seen anyone mention this anywhere so im just curious to how
it works
Thanks
Johan
