-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hello, Someone suggested I use vinum for SCSI drive mirroring. Basically, the mirroring does not have to be up-to-minute, it can be done nightly, as long as it truely mirrors (copies) the source drive to the destination drive. I thought there would be a simple utility (part of freebsd) that could just copy da0 to da1 (with all slices and boot info) but guess not... It seems vinum is the only solution if I want to have drive mirroring. Would it handle a fresh clean drive (da1) and automatically mirror da0 onto it? I never worked with vinum (or ccd) so I wouldn't know. Is vinum stable enough for a production box? If there is another solution that could handle copying the drives, please mention it or tell me where to find info about it. Thank you very much, Andriss - -- ______________________________________________________________ Andrey Kholodenko <andriss@andriss.com> http://www.andriss.com Download My Public PGP Key From http://www.andriss.com/pgp.txt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3a Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBN95uqSQe9jf/ODl9AQFKlwP8CqoM8EN5/IvQJDSWY2IKOw+cesBuoSG6 FKft6itGqPA/cUFMHDzm5sk1fKCTPuRG/49E6eWqdDoMk68SWzLsxFupVqLRygap lmGZgasPE1DZ84cG9ncl01xRgsy58raAfAsA7Q52dAjPVgXzHVLFoqyz8H4IANBe sRdW2ghxObY= =mdhi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
