Can anyone recommend a non-hardware method of disk mirroring? What I'm looking for is something akin to disk mirroring under NT4. ie I add another drive, declare it and an old disk part of a mirror set and data gets replicated and then subsequent writes go to both drives. The goal is so that if one drive crashes I can do a minimal amount of work and get things running on the mirror. I looked at vinum in the 3.0 release but it doesn't _appear_ to be able to do this. I would have to start over using vinum volumes and the boot sections would still have to be maintained seperately. If this just isn't possible, how about a clean way of during periodic whole volume copies? -Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
