Hi everyone,

I have been following the discussions about using Linux md raid1 as a 
way of creating an offline copy of the pool filesystem, which method Les 
Mikesell seems to be a big proponent of.

I am about to try it out myself on an installation, where users will 
connect an external harddrive to the BackupPC server and sync the drive 
to the raid1 array using mdadm, and later disconnect it again for 
offline/offsite storage.

As this is something that will happen on a regular basis, I am looking 
to automate it as much as practical (and possible) by writing a script 
for the umount/fail/remove and recognition of the external drives.

Might there be someone on the list who have taken a shot at this already 
and be willing to share the code to get me jump started?


Regards,

Kim Pedersen
