erm, I thought mirrors with more than two disks wasn't supported in
RAIDFrame. Excerpt from raidctl manpage:

  In this case, /dev/sd20e and /dev/sd21e are the two components of the
  mirror set.  While no hot spares have been specified in this configura-
  tion, they easily could be, just as they were specified in the RAID 5
  case above.  Note as well that RAID 1 sets are currently limited to only
  2 components.  At present, n-way mirroring is not possible.

... unless this has changed in -current (I'm using 2.0.2)
