Hi,

I have been trying to setup a geom mirror on this machine but each time
I reboot geom gives an error and only use one disk. Anybody know where
I should look? I have two other machines that work properly. :-/

Anyway here are some more detail. I'm running the latest RELENG_5 with
Pawel's with g_mirror.c v 1.34 and 1.35 from current applied. After
syncing and rebooting I see these messages:

What is error=1 and how can I find out why it happens?

A sysctl -b kern.geom.conftxt lookslike this:

If I do a "gmirror activate -v gm0 ad0" it is activated and starts
synchronising and to my eye everything looks ok, but if I wait until
it finish syncing and then reboots, the same thing happens. This is
with and without Pawel's patch. I have also tried his other patch
that waits vfs_mountroot(), but that didn't make a difference.

After the activate command, sysctl -b kern.geom.conftxt looks like
this:
