--- Comment #5 from Christian Baltini <christian.baltini at gmail.com> ---
I have addressed this like so:

This rc.d script fires before savecore and changes the balance to "prefer" and
ensures that a specified GEOM provider has a specified priority.

https://github.com/openspork/freebsd-nas/blob/master/usr/local/etc/rc.d/gmirror_prefer

This rc.d script fires after savecore and changes the balance back to whatever
is specified in rc.conf (or wherever).

https://github.com/openspork/freebsd-nas/blob/master/usr/local/etc/rc.d/gmirror_balance

I have tested it working.

In the longer term I think it would be nice if the base system could be smart
enough to do something similar.  Until then this appears to do the trick.
