The problem is it started rebuilding the array *on every boot*.
From the logs:
Mar 12 16:39:16 robert kernel: ad4: 78167MB <Maxtor 6Y080M0/YAR511W0> [158816/16/63] at ata2-master SATA150

fdisk /dev/ad4 (same for /dev/ad6 or /dev/mirror/gm0) gives:
******* Working on device /dev/ad4 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=158816 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=158816 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 160071597 (78159 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 747/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 3 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 4 is: <UNUSED>

(Yes, I left some space unused.)
Finally /etc/fstab:
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/mirror/gm0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/mirror/gm0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/mirror/gm0s1d /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
And I have swapoff="YES" in /etc/rc.conf.
I cannot think of any reason this might happen, but I'd appreciate any hint to avoid that.
