	Nope.

	paracles:/root#> fdisk -I /dev/stripe/stripe0
	******* Working on device /dev/stripe/stripe0 *******
	paracles:/root#> ll /dev/stripe/.
	total 0
	crw-r-----  1 root  operator    4,  40 Jan 18 15:21 stripe0

But I suddenly lose a slice in /dev/mirror  (plex0s2)

	paracles:/root#> ll /dev/mirror/.
	total 0
	crw-r-----  1 root  operator    4,  37 Jan 17 17:47 plex0
	crw-r-----  1 root  operator    4,  44 Jan 17 17:47 plex0s1
	crw-r-----  1 root  operator    4,  36 Jan 17 17:47 plex1
	crw-r-----  1 root  operator    4,  35 Jan 17 17:47 plex2
