Sorry for my bad explanation!
I'm using
`gpart modify -l part1disk1 -i 2 ad4`
and
`gpart modify -l part1disk2 -i 2 ad6`
so I have
/dev/gpt/part1disk1
and
/dev/gpt/part1disk2

Now I want to use these as providers for geom_mirror:
`gmirror label -b load MIRROR1 gpt/part1disk2 gpt/part1disk2`

gmirror prints that metadata was successfully written (to provider 
gpt/part1diskX) but in fact geom_mirror doesn't jump in and detect the 
mirror.

Thanks,
