I tried to use freebsd_update to move from 11.1-RELEASE to 11.3-RELEASE, but after the initial
update install was done - I was left with an un-bootable system (just got a panic on reboot.)
I could boot kernel.old - which let me grab a backup of lots of stuff, etc...
But - after that I decided to do a clean install of 12.1-RELEASE (might as well jump up - right?)
My system is set up with a "regular" hard drive with UFS partitions for the "system" - and a RAID 0 mirrored set of 2 drives for all the 'real' data.
Now, I'd like to restore that geom/gpart drive - presumably somehow find the labels and get geom/gpart just "working" again.
I've read thru the geom and gpart man pages, and the FreeBSD handbook on some of this, but I really can't seem to figure out how to simply "restore" my previous mirrored drive.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
