I don't have any real answers - just a suggestion. What is wrong with the
classic RDBMS architecture of RAID 1 on multiple drives with MySQL - surely
it will be able to do that transparently?
And as for MySQL falling over - if it doesn't corrupt the DB when it falls
over (I hope it doesn't?) then can't you just put it in init.d (I know
that's not the best solution, but it's _a_ solution)?
