Thanks
I mentioned a few benefits in my earlier replies here's a quick summary:
Pros:
- clear and simple.
- any system admin can understand what it is (No hidden gimmicks)
- can easily be added to any existing system with available disk
- no requirements on disk other than adequate size
- the 2 (or more) root disks do not need to be same size
- Only downtime to doing this is being offline to add new disk.
configuration all done on live system doing its normal job
- its tested and works. Tested on a few different systems,
some with RAID some without.
Cons
- Syncing is currently simple/imperfect
At moment I use a simple script.
This can definitely be improved using inotify.
Inotify options:
- inotify-tools package plus scripting
- custom daemon (C or python both look quite doable)
Thanks.
