That isn't completly correct! gjournal works with all GEOM-devices, 
which could be not only disk devices, but also (remote) disk devices, 
(remote) files, (remote) software-raids etc.

It is very easy to mirror the *complete* disk from one *server* to 
another. I use this technic for customers which need cheap backups of 
their complete server.

But a RAID card will be much faster than this. I just wanted to make 
this clear.
