No flames please, but pointers would be appreciated. We're running FreeBSD 2.2.8 on a system with two 13 gig IDE drives, and we'd like to have them mirror each other. I can do 'tar -cvpf - -C / / | tar xpf -C /bak' every night (the second drive is mounted on /bak and has identical partitions), but that won't remove files that have been deleted from the main drive. Am I right in assuming that there's already a simple solution out there in FreeBSDland? For example, is there a software-only version of RAID that works on IDE drives?
