i'm assuming you have one disk with data and one spare. the safe way is to create a broken mirror with the spare drive and "missing" as the other piece. then copy all the data from the current drive to the mirror. then reboot off the mirror and add the original drive to the mirror so it can resync. this involves lots of fdisk, mdadm, tar/rsync/cp, etc. so you really need to know what you're doing. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
