Hi guys, On my home server (2009.6) I have a 2 HDD's in a mirrored rpool.
I just added a 3rd to the mirror and made all disks bootable (ie. installgrub on the mirror disks). My though is this, I remove the 3rd mirror disk and offsite it as a backup. That way if I mess up the rpool, I can get back the offsite HDD, boot from it and re-mirror this to the other 2 HDD's and I am back in business. I plan to leave the 3rd mirror device in the rpool (just no HDD loaded so it will show as degraded all the time). On a monthly basis, I'll physically insert the 3rd HDD and get it to resilver and then remove the 3rd hdd offsite again - ie. refresh the backup. Anyone see any flaws in this plan? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
