I've been messing with a new raid 1 system with hot swap bays and it occurred to me that in a raid/boot situation, the spare drive is not sync'd and has no boot track. Is there a way to force the spare drive to sync to the "master" set so that lilo can be run on that drive to place a boot track with the appropriate information... or is there a way to hold the spare in sync. This need not be done for the entire disk, only the raid 1 boot partition. I can't see an easy way to do this with the current tools, it might be a nice option to add to future I'mplimentations.
