Hi there,
My setup is 2 seagate pata 250G HDD's mirrored in a RAID1. I raided using gmirror and disk ad0 + ad1 created the family gm0.
This has been running brilliantly.
Upgrading from 7.2 to 8.0-RC1 using freebsd-update.
all successful.
After reboot the device /mirror/gm0s1a etc... has not been created and I can not mount a root device. I rebooted and manually loaded geom_mirror at the prompt but still no device was created.
I can not mount ufs:/dev/ad0s1a or ufs:/dev/ad1s1a to attempt to recover the software raid device and am unsure what to do.
A side note - should I have run the command "gmirror load" after the new kernel was loaded to ensure the device was created before reboot?
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers
