Hi misc

Is anybody aware of a document that describes how to ccd all slices
(including /) after installation?
I've installed 3.8 generic using just one of two identical disks. Now I
need to mirror that disk onto the other one. I copied the disklabel from
the active disk over. I can of course create ccd's for each slice, but
this means newfs and data loss, and won't work because I can't umount
the root.
Now I assume that my approach was intrinsically bound to fail or just
dumb wrong. I'm sorry if this is covered somewhere public - I found
references to a FAQ on MARC, but was just unable to find my question
covered in the related documentation.
One thing I came up with was to boot from install media and do it from
the shell there, then newfs and reinstall on the ccd devices. But I'm
really not quite sure.

The goal is to bring the box back online as fast as possible after a
disk crash and replacement, and to be then able to rebuild the raidset
online (dd is fine).

thx /markus
