The file systems are striped between the two mirrors.  (If your disks are A, B, 
C, D then a single file's blocks would reside on disks A+B, then C+D, then A+B 
again.)

If you lose A and B, or C and D, you lose the whole pool.  (Hence if you have 
two power supplies, for instance, you'd probably want A+C to share a power 
supply, and B+D.)
