The article is good, simple to follow, but does not actually explain the procedure of replacing the hard disk if any one of them fails. Someone has posted a similar question and it seems that no one (including the author) can answer it yet. Googling it returns nothing either. Maybe because it is a new thing and not many people have implemented it yet. What a shame.

  Actually "man gmirror" has some easy to follow examples if a drive fails. While I haven't had a drive fail, in my testing I physically removed a drive and the rebooted OS kept perking along. I then replaced the drive with an empty one and was successfully able to restore the mirror. One of those things that is better to try once on a test system rather than wait until an emergency :-)
