Is it possible to set up a mirrored volume in vinum, but only set *one* of the plexes to be used for reading? The reason I'm asking is that I'm making a Network Attached Storage box, which I think should have SCSI disks and RAID 1. Unfortunately, our budget doesn't stretch to 8 73GB SCSI drives :-) So I wondered about having 4 73GB SCSI drives concatenated for the main storage space, and 2 160GB IDE drives (also concatenated) as a RAID 1 mirror. However, I don't want to put too much load on the IDE drives, so I thought perhaps vinum could be set *not* to read from them, merely to write (although, if a SCSI drive failed, of course it would have to read from them!). Or if that isn't possible, any other ideas? Thanks, Oliver.
