Hi,
I have few additional internal hard disks and wanted
to mirror the boot disk to one of the internal disks
as a backup.
How to list all the available internal disks in the
system? I tried fdisk -l but it did not listed any
disks whereas the same command works on redhat. How do
I manually mirror the boot disk to one of the
available internal disks as a backup (using dd or some
other utility ??) . My guess is that if I have a
mirrored disk and if boot disk fails, then I can
physically swap the boot disk with the mirrored disk
and hopefully i can boot without losing data.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
