There's always good stuff in there about everything, as far as raid, 0,
1, 5, I imagine 0+1, 10, prolly the only thing it lacks is JBOD.

But as far as your 'root' partition that I don't think so, mirroring the
root partition usually isn't worth it anywho.  Since the root partition
is typically 250megs for /

and yeah you can mirror /usr /var, etc with vinum (mdconfig) or you
could use ccd if you wish.
