Bonus Tip of the day! If you ever have two disk drives which are not
identical, such as these:

ad0: 4112MB <WDC AC24300L 09.09M08> at ata0-master UDMA33
ad3: 4028MB <Maxtor 84320D4 NAVXAA21> at ata1-slave UDMA33

Then make sure you install FreeBSD on the bigger one (i.e. here that
would be ad0) then setup gmirror. If you do the oposite, you will have
a "Consumers too small" error when you try to bring the mirror
together.

I could be wrong, but that seems backwards.
