Well, first I'd like a problem report.  The information I need is
described both in the man page and at
http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html.  In particular I'd

Can you get two smaller ones?  It's possible to mirror to plexes of
different sizes, but obviously if something goes wrong beyond the end
of the smaller plex, you're no longer resilient.
