As far as I can see, booting from gm0 works fine. There are only two
questions left:
1) I installed FreeBSD 5.4 -RELEASE and thus I put - as
recommended (or was that only for 5.3 ???) - swapoff="YES into
my /etc/rc.conf .
Now my raid1 device doesn't show any swap partition. Is this
o.k., or should it be reactivated somehow?
Uhmmm, can you elaborate on that?
Here's what my system looks like:

2) In case one of my disks fails (let's say ad2), what is the
correct procedure to exchange it? My guess:
- power down my machine
If you have hot-swap drive bays, you can skip this step.
- insert new disk
- # gmirror configure -a gm0
- # gmirror insert gm0 /dev/ad2
- wait until
# gmirror list
shows both disks active again
You should only need the insert command, and you can certainly use the
system while the disks are syncing, you'll just have impaired performance.
