I searched under http://www.freebsd.org/search.html#mailinglists but could not find any thing. Can you post the URL? or give me anyother pointers to this.

Check the -current list archives on ww.freebsd.org, where it was discussed at length in a thread on logical volume management. I posted the URL, but I don't have it in the bookmarks of my current desktop.
