	As far as I know, you can use GEOM to mirror partitions in other filesystems, because GEOM operates at block-level mode. So yes, it would basically be like ghosting the foreign partitions onto another drive. However, if you're talking about a system that dual-boots, it's a bad idea, because GEOM won't be running while you're booted into the other system, so you'll be regenerating the array every time you boot into BSD - and when you do, GEOM will probably think that the changes that your other operating system made are "errors" and restore everything back to the way it was!
