Under further exploration, it appears the mirror feature requires driver support. The FreeBSD driver does not offer this at this time.

I don't get any panics when the mirror is not configured. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite_at_gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.orgReceived on Fri Jan 23 2004 - 14:06:45 UTC
