Solaris software RAID - for testing


Im trying to create Solaris software RAID just for testing to see how it works.
Im using that description which looks fairly ok to me:
http://www.tech-recipes.com/solaris_...n_tips225.html

except 1 thing which is not defined.
You have to use 2 slices for 2 metadb for replica. In example is shown:
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 as unassigned 64-MB
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 as unassigned 64-MB

but it is not written do those slices should have flag [wm] or [wu].
It is also not obvious for me should it be formated with UFS or not.
Should I type it into /etc/vfstab or not ? (if yes then how should entry looks like ?)

Ok I got it:
I have created "replica slices" with [wm] flag and it works.
More. Slices should not be formated with any filesystem and it should not be added to /etc/vfstab.

The tutorial I linked above has some inaccuracy.
If anyone need basic help with that issue (Software RAID-1 for Solaris 10) just mail me - czezz AT o2.pl

Peace.
