Just having gone through setting up software raid as my first 
post-install FreeBSD task, I can highly recommend gmirror.  It uses the 
new GEOM code (like gvinum) but gmirror has a man page and is feature 
complete.  As of 5.3, gvinum did not have all the commands implemented 
(not sure about it in 5.4).

If you are not using 5.x then sorry for missing the beginning of the thread.
