or a controller-driver-failure. At least on Linux, when a disk goes
bad, Linux starts resettin
Hi Dick
You want Mirroring. A Sun system with mirrored disks can be configured to
not go down due to one disk failing. For this to be valid, you need to also
make sure that the device used for SWAP is mirrored - you won't believe how
many times I've seen this mistake being made.
To be even MORE
I'm still confused.
What is a -SAFE- way with two drives if you prepare for hardware
faulure? That is: one drive fails and the system does not go down
because the other drive takes over. Do I need raid or mirror?
