good point, probably it is much easier as thought to integrate as script into 
the installer where one can chose the disks/partitions to gmirror/gstripe 
them and put it beside other options in "Startup Options"
I never felt the need and probably would not use the option either and will 
configure my config manually later as I do with named or others

for me this happened already. I use gmirror for almost a year now and I 
changed all vinum setups and I never had a serious problem with it. I have to 
say that I never tried IDE or SATA, only SCSI with Adaptec.
