Re: drive mirroring

["Ophidian" <ophidian_snake@hotmail.com>]

whats cpio?

i think i can make the drive bootable in the event something happens (i
suppose i should make a boot disk now and keep it in the machine's floppy
drive

so there isnt any way of just saying "hey linux, mirror this entire drive
with this other drive that is exactly identical" ?

heh, i know alot of ppl dont like netware, but mirroring on netware was like
a 2 command process ;}
