Re: [Mondo-devel] MBR Not Exactly Restored

Thanks, Conor.  I'll be exploring this great idea in the near future...as
soon as I can reliably restore to Drive #2 from MondoRescue.

As an aside, I used my own hack to configure two raid 1 drives to boot
independently of the other but still into the raid device.  No non-raid
partitions at all.  See "Booting from a RAID array" at:
http://cod.homelinux.org/C/index.html

It includes a script to incorporate a new blank disk into the raid array.  I
used this on an RH 7.2 machine with mondo as the backup and had it tested
and happy with mondorestore...
