Do you know if a firewire drive will work reliably as a raid1 mirror
with a matching internal drive?
Not a clue, never tried.
With the older stack it isn't
recognized in time at boot-up to automatically connect the md device.
It is if you load the firewire modules in your initrd. :)
You can add it and the re-sync generally works if the partition is
not
too busy, but it tends to be failed out of the array if it is left
connected when the partition is very active.
I wonder if the cfs scheduler would help with this any. And/or shutting
off beagle (which likes to absolutely slaughter the i/o on my workstation).
