Yes, a RAID1 config to be precice.

        -Otto

So is there a way to break the raid remotely without taking the server down?

$ cat /etc/fstab
/dev/sd0a / ffs rw 1 1
/dev/sd0g /home ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2
/dev/sd0e /swap ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2
/dev/sd0f /tmp ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2
/dev/sd0j /usr ffs rw,nodev 1 2
/dev/sd0k /usr/local ffs rw,nodev 1 2
/dev/sd0d /var ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2
/dev/sd0h /var/mail ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2
/dev/sd0i /var/www ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2

in my fstab, I have them all mounted as sd0 but I planned on writing a backup script to archive the important data to the other drive. So I need to access sd1. Is that possible without reinstalling?
