Hi, i would like to do a raid strip with freebsd slices or partitions
and not with a entire disk. For example: I've a two SCSI drivers with
68Gb. I want to make a two partitions or slices in two disks, first
with 10G and other with 58Gb, this in two disks, and make a raid strip
"virtual disk" with 58+58GB = 116 GB, and user other two partitions
normaly.

I believe you want to use the GEOM(4) subsystem in general and the
gstripe(8) command in particular. I've only used gmirror(8) with
entire disks, but I believe you can simply specify a device name
corresponding to the slices you want to stripe.
