GPT partitions should work, just limit it to one mirrored partition per

Please, clarify what you mean here.
If only one GPT partition on a drive is mirrored with another GPT partition
on another drive, head contention never comes up. There is only one
mirror.
It does nearly eliminate the usefulness of GPT partitioning.
Um... and how can i do that if i have a simple mirror with two drives and
want to mirror everything on them? As i understand i will have at least
bootable, swap and ufs parttions on those drives, that is 3 partitions at
least.
If you want to use the same drive for booting, it's possible. Create
all three partitions on both drives manually. Then mirror the
freebsd-ufs partition only. The contents of the freebsd-boot partition
don't change often, and swap does not have to be mirrored.
Not that it's easy or convenient, but it's an option.
