I have an external JBOD array that is a mirror
of two stripes.  What I'd like to do is plug
that array into a new/different freebsd host
machine.  Is there anything I need to do to 
prepare the new machine for the array?

Naively, I'd hope that the new machine will pick
up the geom configuration from the drives themselves,
so I won't have to run any gmirror or gstripe commands 
on the new machine after the JBOD has been plugged
into it.

Can anyone who has done this before give me
a few tips on how to plan appropriately for
such a move?
