just detach the submirror...

Code:
# metadetach d0 d20

if you need to sync it you can reattach it with

Code:
# metattach d0 d20

if there is a mirror d0 with the submirrors d10 and d20 and you've detached d20 from d0 and afterwards created a file on d0 the file can't be on d20. if it is, there has to be a mistake!

Hi Duke,

I got d7 with two sub mirror d17 and d27. I detahed the d27 from the mirror like below

# metadetach d7 d27

later i created file on the mount point which is created for d7 .

then init 0 and later booted the system with rootmirror which which contains d27 and i can see the files there .

Where am i going wrong .

Thanks
