--- Comment #2 from Allan Jude <allanjude@FreeBSD.org> ---
This is a really poor configuration. You really should use ZFS's mirroring
rather than the BIOS RAID1.

The main reason is that if ZFS finds a checksum error, but is only configur=
ed
as a stripe across a single virtual disk (the RAID1), then it will not be a=
ble
to correct the error. ZFS also has a better load balancing algorithm for us=
ing
the mirrored disks when it controls the mirror.


I will investigate this bug, but the ZFS portion of the installer is not
intended to be used with graid, but rather in place of it.
