Hi, Welcome. This is one of the most discussed topics in this list... Of course this depends on the # of files you have in your pool and it's current size. As smaller both numbers are as better your

Hi, Oh yes, I tried this as well. Works only if your connection to the remote site is fast enough. Otherwise you'd need to purchase the drdb proxy for some hundred bucks. And additionally: drdb is no

The raid 1 setup is what at least a few of us on the list use. For me, it works like this: My filesystem is raid 1 (via md) with 3 disks. Two of the disks are internal and one is in an sata hot-swap

You don't even have to shut down as long as your sata controller recognizes hot swaps. Just stop backuppc, unmount the partition, and use mdadm to fail and remove the drive in the raid. Then you can

Is there a way to avoid the shutdown even with the root partition mounted on the raid? Next time I do a swap, I'll bring the system back up with 2 drives and then try to hot-add the third and watch d
