Ok, since i had a hard disk failure in a production box a monday evening, (a production box for sure) I now trying to setup (software) raid 1 as far it's possible. Check my jumpstart raid 1 profile. That's why - after setting up a box with raid 1 - I'm trying to remove a disk (while the OS running), I didn't have errors.
Just remember to do :
metareplace -e d0 c1t0d0s0
for each mirror you have.
Create a raid 1 mirror, and use its device for soft partitions
Create the mirror
metainit d6 1 1 c1t0d0s5 metainit d7 1 1 c1t1d0s5 metainit d8 -m d6 metattach d8 d7
Create a soft partition
metainit d10 -p d8 512M
