[mythtv-users] Myth mirroring

Taking the plunge and moving up to FC4. This time around I chose to go the
software mirror path with two 80GB SATA disks. Carved it up with /boot on
md0 and the rest via LVM as md1. Question I have for the group is the
machine is sitting in an entertainment center with mythfrontend running all
the time. Any tools or plugins for myth to monitor /proc/mdstat or something
of that nature to check to see if you lost a drive etc... or is it that if
you lost a drive the box is going to tank anyway so you will know no matter
what? I have simulated a failed disk by powering off and unplugging the
cable from the primary sata drive and it boots up fine from the secondary,
but am a little leary to just yank power to one of the drives to see how
Linux responds. Thanks... Regg
