As I understand it, gmirror writes its metadata on the last sector of
the provider; when tasting devices it will look at the last sector of
ad4, find the metadata and use that as the provider for your mirror; you
can either hardcode the provider name there to override it, or make the
slice 1 sector smaller so gmirror tastes ad4, finds nothing, then goes
on to taste ad4s1 correctly.
