Speaking to the archives something that slipped by me is that normally
one creates two concat style plexes and _then_ mirrors the plexes. This
way the plex can be edited on a running system, drives substituted.

The "simplified" version of [g]vinum mirror command automagically
creates a configuration as described above even when only 2 drives are
involved.
