I see you have a separate slice for the swap space. That makes sense.
I looked at this link and I noticed the comment:
"The following is a step-by-step command list for remotely converting a production FreeBSD system from a single-disk/single-slice (ad0s1) to a two-disk/single-slice (ad0s1 & ad1s1) GEOM mirror (gm0)"
I'm not entirely clear how to adapt these instructions for 3-slice systems? I setup a VM with two single slice drives and followed the first set of instructions, successfully creating a mirrored, single slice system. Now, what about a three slice system?
What about the second approach described here? It seems a lot simpler, but I'm not sure what this means:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/${d1} bs=512 count=79
This implies my main drive would be wiped, so I must be missing something.
