you want to create a 20GB filesystem on the mirror device /dev/md/dsk/d40. Presumably you have created the mirror already using metainit/metattach commands? Are the underlying disk slices 20GB? If so, just use newfs /dev/md/dsk/d40. If the underlying device is larger than 20GB, you can create your 20GB volume using soft partitions.
