Has anybody else had a chance to try the gmirror patches I posted here a few weeks ago ? I;ve had no feedback so far - not sre if thats good news or just that nobody tried them. they can be found here if people are interested: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=123630 I;ve been running ths for a month with no ill effecets whatsoever, and would very much like to get this commited somehow. I am not sure of the best way to do this though, as it's not an actual bug per-se. Whom would I approach about getting this added to the tree ? cheers, -pete.

Hi,> Has anybody else had a chance to try the gmirror patches I posted here a > few weeks ago ? > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=123630I ran that patch against 7-stable, build flawless. I currently build a kernel, by accident I made a small mistake. I installworld'd but forgot to rebuild/install the kernel, a reboot in between... oh well. That box does collect syslog of abount 8 boxes, mysql in replication modus for backup purposes to a NFS share and is internal fallback mx server so it's somewhat I/O bound. It's a HP LH3 SMP box deployed with gmirror because it lacks scsi raid. So far it runs okay. Any hints I should look for or put into stress ? It's not very important to get this box up ;-) Cheers, Robert
