For my purposes, would I be better served by just keeping the drive in the firewire box turned off until I want to do a backup, and then just use rsync, or will the software mirroring actually do what I want without torturing the I/O performance because of the firewire mirror?
Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll be best served by just doing backups to the second drive instead of trying to do LVM or MD RAID to the device.
Now I'm debating whether or not I want to find a way to automate the power control of the "backup" drive, leave it running all the time, or manually plug it in to the power when I want to use it. Stupid enclosure doesn't have a power switch of its own.
