Just as fair warning, you should not rely on RAID as a 'backup' like you would rely on writing to removable media and storing off-site.

I've been using gmirror for about half a year and have had no problems. --qDbXVdCdHGoSgWSk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCoNtyAud/2YgchcQRArN0AJ4gAq94JmfzDcmRD5zsWnQlLV5lJACfYUUS St9WTIqz2Uo8A2TjPtxWhqo= =LKze -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --qDbXVdCdHGoSgWSk--
