I created a mirror patch for 1.1 but have not been able to find the time for updating it. There once existed a CVS tree with mirror support but I dono what the state of it is. Personally I would like to see a redundancy scheme using chained declustering.(i.e. in the style of petal) instead of RAID 5. If all you want is redundancy then a simple rsync approach may suffice (this of cause depends on the nature of your data and the access patters used on it). Regards.
