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).
