GEOM mirror problem..

technical ownage

Hello,

I have a similar problem to here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=61812.0

However, when I try to run the command from shell to wipe the drives, it says "unknow operand BS"

I installed pfSense on a geom mirror and now I'd like to reverse the mirror, essentially.

Try lowercase bs ;)

If you get some other error, try


sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16

first.

Okay, tried it both ways.

Both times, the shell just moves to a new blank line and nothing happens.

Notes: Using 2.1.5, booting from image on USB stick.

Edit: I was just impatient. So, it seemed to succeed, however the drives are still labeled master and slave, but I am able to install pfSense on just one of them. Should I be worried?

If all else fails, try a 2.2.3 snapshot. We added more cleanup code to remove old mirror info from disks before creating a new mirror.
