On rare occasions mirrors may get severely out of sync. An extreme 
example is when a disk is removed from a powered system without first 
being detached with a 

metadetach

 command. The situation is indicated 

by the appearance of a 

Needs maintenance message in a State line of a 

metastat

 response. For example:

In such situations the 

metareplace

 command can force the recovery of 

the failed slice. The 

Invoke line of the 

metastat

 response leads the way. 

Given the response above, for example, you would enter the following:

#

metastat

    Submirror 0: d11

      State: Needs maintenance

    Submirror 1: d12
