 I've thought about cases like "GPT in gmirror" and, worse, "MBR in gmirror"
to solve by such "overkill" solution -- you don't allow geom_label to taste
devices, which are included in mirror (or other RAID), but allow to taste
them by anything else, so they have /dev entries and picked up by soft-RAID
class they belong to...

 There was MANY threads about such problems in the past, and I don';t
remember to have good solution but "make mirrors out of partitions". Several
solutions were discussed, like "levels" of classes (to make tasting order
predicatable), but, as far as I understand, nothing was done, and no good
solution was found.
