I'm not comfortable with software raid mainly becuase I would know what to do if a member of the md cluster failed. So I want to ghost a working drive to a secondary drive.
Say I have two identical drives: /dev/hda and /dev/hdc. Periodically I want to completely ghost hda to hdc without having to unmount hda or go into single user mode, etc. If hda ever dies, then I just re-jumper hdc and away I go. I've tried: # dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc Although I'm sure it ghosted the drive, it also prevented me from rebooting the computer normally. Something about grub getting confused about multiple drives having the same devlabel entries. Also it took forever. Is there a tool that will replicate the partitions, copy from kernels and boot sectors. then copy the files over to a spare drive with grub getting confused?
