11-STABLE, gstat and swap: uneven mirror disk usage

Hello,


Am I right concluding that there's something wrong in either how freebsd 
works with swap partition, or with how gstat reports its activity ? 
Because on the consistently woring mirror the situation when only one 
disk member is used and the other is not for both reads and writes just 
cannot happen:


last pid: 24590;  load averages:  6.54,  8.61, 
9.86                                           up 16+04:11:06 15:22:24
79 processes:  1 running, 78 sleeping
CPU:  0.2% user,  0.0% nice, 15.0% system,  1.8% interrupt, 83.0% idle
Mem: 55M Active, 1092K Inact, 2136K Laundry, 61G Wired, 1111M Free
ARC: 33G Total, 1799M MFU, 26G MRU, 3808M Anon, 408M Header, 1032M Other

Swap: 32G Total, 1665M Used, 30G Free, 5% Inuse, 5620K In, 2276K Out
