(Please don't CC me; I read the list : ) ) RAID would be a doable solution, but it's likely overkill for the user. Another option would be vinum[0] (FreeBSD's logical volume manager).

RAID1 ('mirroring') should do just fine mitigating this issue. -- o--------------------------{ Will Maier }--------------------------o | jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | *------------------[ BSD Unix: Live Free or Die ]------------------* _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
