Hi, Thanks fo Drew Skinner and Nicolas Dorfsman plus others for their assistance. I now have my mirror stripe config replacing the original RAID5 and performance indicators show a huge improvement. In essence I did the following: metainit d51 2 1 c1t2d0s6 1 c1t3d0s6 metainit d52 2 1 c1t4d0s6 1 c1t5d0s6 metainit d53 -m d51 metattach d53 d52 metainit d54 -p d53 36G metainit d55 -p d53 100G One "problem" I came across was that there is no easy way to interrupt a mirror resync once it has started. Nicolas suggested a method whereby you hack the disk label while the resync is going on which causes the thing to error out, though I've not tested this. It's also not clear why the GUI doesn't work on this system. It's patched up to latest revs. It may simply be that the disk management tool was taking a very long time to start but with zero cpu and disk activity showing during the attempted initialisation I doubt it's that simple.
