I would set up firts harddrive:
and then second hard drive set up us a mirror of the first drive . use rsync,cronjob. This way no need for raid. But have backups at your finger tips. and if the first disc fails just reconfigure the mirror as "master" and adjust boot grub options and caboom back to original(last backup version of mirrored rsynced copy) On Sat, Jan 9, 2010 at 8:12 PM, Kari Matthews <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > I have a customer who wants a new server.
