The doc entitled RAID1 - Mirroring states the following:
If I have a machine that is not a fresh install, is there a way to test for this potential problem?
Is there a workaround?
I would like to mirror the drives, but knowing that the procedure "may result in data loss" is prohibitively risky.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Warning: Creating a mirror out of the boot drive may result in data loss if any data has been stored on the last sector of the disk. This risk is reduced if creating the mirror is done promptly after a fresh install of FreeBSD.
