My existing drive seems now to be in the process of dying, so copying its contents has been more time consuming than I expected (due to many IDE timeouts). This means I'll be getting a 3rd drive to use for the mirror, too. Anyway, I'm assuming that with this original configuration: drive drive1 device /dev/ad0s1e volume var setupstate plex org concat sd length 256m drive drive1 volume usr setupstate plex org concat sd length 0 drive drive1 this second configuration should work: drive drive2 device /dev/ad2s1e plex name var.p1 org concat volume var sd length 256m drive drive2 plex name usr.p1 org concat volume usr sd length 0 drive drive2 assuming equal-sized drives, and that a "start var.p1" and "start usr.p1" should get them going. There was a little more in that excerpt than I needed, which made me confused initially, but I think I've sorted it out now.
