freebsd stable - Mar 2009 - gemor mirror and priority

Greetings,

Is this still correct:

Note that you want to insert the remote disk into the mirror first.  
The disk in the mirror with the highest priority gets used first if  
you set the balance algorithm to 'prefer'--it seems like a good idea  
to make sure that's the local disk... The first item inserted in the  
mirror automatically gets a priority of 0. There is a documented  
limitation of gmirror--you can't change the priority of a component  
after it's added. If you add the local disk first and the filesystem  
is live (being changed), you'll need to do a full sync, then remove  
the local disk, and then add the local disk back with a higher  
priority and complete another full sync--which can take some time over  
the network.

Or in other words - priority=0 means lowest or highest priority for  
reading from geom mirror?

Yup - I made a patch to start the priorities in the middle of the
range and to add a 'prefer-low' to reverse the way it is selected
to get round the problem though. You can try it out if you want...
