Should gmirrored gjournal provider have auto-synchronization?

Suppose I've used a pair of drives laid out with GPT partitions to
create a mirror. Actually, this situation requires that individual
partitions be mirrored instead of the whole drive. Then suppose one of
these partitions is to be gjournaled, but with separate data and journal
providers. The separate journal provider will be in another partition.
I believe I should gmirror the journal provider partition just as I did
the data provider partition. Correct me if this is wrong.
Then, should I be enabling or disabling auto-synchronization for the
mirrored journal provider partition? It is clear to me that it should be
disabled for the mirrored data provider partition because the journaling
will ensure data consistency, but is the content of the journal provider
itself guaranteed consistent under all circumstances?
