My disk device is /dev/ar0:

# mount
/dev/ar0s1a on / (ufs, local)
/dev/ar0s1h on /home (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ar0s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
...

Yet iostat shows /dev/adX:

n# iostat 5
      tty             ad0              ad4              ad6             cpu

Is iostat simply breaking out my RAID-1 (/dev/ar0) into its two component
drives? If I had three drives composing /dev/ar0 would I then see ad0, ad4,
adX?

/dev/ad6 here is just a drive we use for short-term backups, and is not
RAID.

I just want to confirm. Thanks!
