I understand Matt, but over here the problem is the cost of the SSD. The Server as a whole costs only $350 so it is not possible to get an SSD of $100 sanctioned :-( So I guess rsyncing / from one Disk to another will work ( given that /usr, /var, /home and Data are mirrored ) ? how do I update the boot code on the secong disk? Also since I am following dfly development I guess if I dont use mirror-stream I can have a backup of the old system in the second disk just in case I get a surprise during system/pkgsrc update? Thanks :-) --Siju
