On boot, it shows this: gptboot: invalid backup GPT headerI can speculate on what causes that (whether the various g-things use the absolute last block of the device, or the last block of their area and provide their total minus one block; or it could be that gptboot is seeing the disk rather than the gmirror device). Can it be fixed? This is a long standing issue that still isn't fixed to the best of my knowledge. The problem is with gmirror and GPT. http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fbu7cher.blogspot.com%2F2011%2F03%2Ffreebsd-gmirror-gpt-ufs.html&act=url is the best I can do.
Thanks!So it's cosmetic, but not really the kind of message that instills confidence. gptboot needs to be able to tell if it's reading from a gmirror. Or gmirror should provide one block less than it does, so it doesn't overwrite the GPT backup.
