If you want a "neat" looking raid group, you can use the vol command: vol add volname ndisks -d diskname volname=volume name ndisks=num of disks to add diskname= a space separated list of drives that you want to use

vol add vol0 10 -d 8b.0 8b.1 8b.2 8b.3 8b.4 8b.5 8b.8 8b.9 8b.10 8b.11

I think that's the wrong syntax to specify a list of disks to add. Everything after the "10" is ignored. This is actually the same exact mistake I made, illustrating how confusing the vol documentation is.

What I tried was:

vol add vol0 2 -d 8b.0 8b.1

And the system proceeded to add 8b.13 and 8b.14. I think this is the right syntax:

vol add vol0 -d 8b.0 8b.1 8b.2 8b.3 8b.4 8b.5 8b.8 8b.9 8b.10 8b.11

I would guess that even with the above syntax for specifying a list of disks to be added, disks are still added in a random order.
