Hello,

Someone suggested I use vinum for SCSI drive mirroring. Basically,
the mirroring does not have to be up-to-minute, it can be done
nightly, as long as it truely mirrors (copies) the source drive
to the destination drive.

I thought there would be a simple utility (part of freebsd) that
could just copy da0 to da1 (with all slices and boot info) but
guess not...

It seems vinum is the only solution if I want to have drive
mirroring. Would it handle a fresh clean drive (da1) and automatically
mirror da0 onto it? I never worked with vinum (or ccd) so I wouldn't
know. Is vinum stable enough for a production box?

If there is another solution that could handle copying the drives,
please mention it or tell me where to find info about it.

Thank you very much,

Andriss
