I want to add a second hard disk to machine to mirror the data of the previously installed disk. I could mount the drive and periodically 'dd' the data but this seems inelegant and expensive. So my questions: Can I add a second hard drive and install it as a mirror drive using vinum, or am I too late, having already partitioned the first drive? (There's already data on the partitions.)
