Can anyone tell me if there is a way of mirroring disks in Linux? We use
this approach at work to give our system online redundance so if a disk
starts to go bad, we break the mirror and take the offending disk/partitions
off line until the repair/replacement is done. Since all data is
duplicated on the mirror device, the user has no idea that a disk failure
has occured.
