That's because there isn't a GEOM Mirrors page in the pfSense Plus documentation to link to.
Geom mirrors are legacy RAID mirrors anyway and we are encouraging ZFS mirrors now.
Rejecting bug report, as there is no point adding links to documentation we'd need to write for a legacy function.

The information on the page is:
GEOM Mirrors
:
If the firewall contains a GEOM disk mirror, this page shows the status of the mirror and provides controls for managing the mirror.
Which page link has been shown to the customer?
I think the information you provided should be mentioned in this section, or this section should be omitted to avoid misleading the customer.
BTW, I could not find the appropriate Redmine category for this issue.
Thank you.

The document this text is quoted from is the menu guide for the Diagnostics, so "this page" is referring to Diagnostics > GEOM Mirrors, which is the entry being described in the menu guide. That menu entry only appears on systems with GEOM mirrors.
The only way to make that even more clear would be to change "this page" to "**Diagnostics > GEOM Mirrors**" which is redundant since that's what the entry is already describing, and none of the other entries on that page do that.
There is no documentation page for GEOM mirror functionality, so there is nothing to link to for "see <x>" like the other entries have.
It's a deprecated feature, so there won't be any new docs written for it, so it's fine as it is.
