      I just installed a fresh copy of 2.1.4 onto my server.
      I have two hard drives, both SATA.
      One Seagate and the other Western Digital.
      During installation I created a mirror and installed to that.
      Now on my dashboard, I can see the mirror status as "COMPLETE".

      Question… If a drive fails, or the mirror has some other error, will I get a notification via email?

        No, not on 2.1.x, but that has already been implemented for pfSense 2.2.

        On 2.2 there is also a GUI for gmirror drive management to add/remove drives and rebuild arrays and such.

          Awesome!
          What is the expected release date for 2.2?
          Will I be able to upgrade my box from 2.1 to 2.2? (I have Squid package installed)

            No firm date for 2.2 yet, BETA should be happening Really Soon Now.

            Upgrading from 2.1 (or any older release) to 2.2 will be supported.
