Yeah, I know what you mean, Solaris had a real good utility for this = called ufsdump which would do a drive mirror to either another drive or = to tape. But I don't see any equivalent in FreeBSD. Try doing it the way = you originally described and then swap out the main disk with the = mirrored disk and see what happens.=20 Good Luck! Michael Akers M.

Akers Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: RE: SCSI drive mirroring question -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hello, Michael, thank you for your input.. I have a question regarding the script you sent me: >#!/bin/sh >#copy drive1 to drive 2 >/bin/cp -R /export/home1/. /export/home2 2>&1 | tee -a = /var/log/backup.log Wouldn't it just do the filesystem copy? I think it expects all the slices to be either already set up on the second drive, or it just copies it into one giant slice. It also doesn't preserve boot record, and I am not sure how it would treat devices... What I want is a true bit by bit mirror of the entire first drive... Can anyone suggest something that would do it?
