Generally gmirror is currently preferred sollution instead of gvinum.

This should do the job:
# zpool create POOL mirror DISK0 DISK1

Hello,
Thanks for the replies!
Yes, I know that gconcat doesn't provide mirroring, but it was also part of the problem - I've tried concatenating several slices and then mirror them using gmirror, but that doesn't work out
I wanted to have the option to extend the volumes, once I mirror them.
ZFS sounds good, but I don't think it would be of any good for my system - it's an IBM ThinkCentre A50 with 1g of RAM and 2.53GHz CPU. May if I add it 1 or 2 more gigs of RAM it would be reasonable to run ZFS. What do you think? (Please people having experience with ZFS - share your ideas
)
Also, if I run ZFS will I be able to extend the volumes after mirroring them - I really want to have that option since it's more likely that new disk(s) will be added to the system.
Thanks and regards,
