Just tested this and it seems ok.
I couldn't import the mirrored pool because it detected it's in use by another machine so it's not a very good test though.
But while doing so I found a new minor bug, the message I got was like :
"The pool is being used by another machine "machine name" which accessed it for the last time on "date""
and the date given was 1st January 1970, so clearly the access time is not updated for the pool.
I'll try to find a way to create a non mirrored pool on an external drive to do more testing.
