Re: Generic Linux question

Marc,
I have used the raidtools in linux to build a mirror of a drive
of the same geometry on linux-intel. I believe the rpms are available
for  Sparc-Linux 6.2. This keeps the drives in sync and provides 
redundancy if thats what you meant by mirror. Or if you are just looking
for a straight copy then  dd  would be the best way. 

sample: /etc/raidtab file

raiddev /dev/md0
        raid-level      1
        nr-raid-disks   2
        nr-spare-disks  0
        chunk-size     4
        persistent-superblock 1
        device          /dev/sda1
        raid-disk       0
        device          /dev/sdb1
        raid-disk       1

 Subject: Generic Linux question
 
 
 I'm sorry to post this here, i know this is more of a general linux 
 question, but does anyone know, off the top of their head, what's the 
 quickest way to do a mirror of a hard drive to another drive in the same 
 system? I have a linux box with 2 3.4 gig maxtor drives in it and I want 
 to make a mirror image of the first drive onto the second... the two 
 drives are the same model...
 
 Can anyone help?
 Thanks again and sorry for posting to the wrong list.
 Marc
