>Description:
In the handbook the section on RAID0 is very clear, and gives a good example of how to configure a new RAID0 array and newfs it. This section assumes that the new array is an additional array to be added to /etc/fstab.
By contrast the section on RAID1 assumes that you want a mirrored root partition on a newly-installed system. The extra complexities mean that the section is confusing to a beginner.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Move the existing RAID1 section to a new section - "How to mirror your boot partition" (or similar).
Create a new RAID1 section covering how to add a RAID1 array as an additional filesystem, in the same vein as the current RAID0 section.
