k of memory to the kernel. In freebsd, the module tools are third parties in the process. The copy is done while the vnode is locked. Any attempt to write to the file, or page fault via a mmap(MAP_SHARED) will sleep till the lock is released and the kernel has completed the copy of the contents.

Can't you just create a slice, make a gmirror out of your slice, and then slice your mirror again? This is the way you would do it for mdadm on Linux (probably with swap outside the mirror). (and in the old days you would have 2 copies of /boot non-mirrored; dunno about today) Am 17.02.2012 22:0
