- And it's damn good! My 4/690-120 use it on its own root, /usr and
- /local and the roots it exports to its clients, so our workstations will
- survive a disk outage (well, they would panic as their swap went away
- but immediately reboot).
-
- I have a spare partition for dumping: I run disk shadowing up onto the
- spare, break the mirror and then fsck the now unmounted filesystem. So
- I can write to tape an unmounted, fsck'd copy of / and /usr...
