Are you sure NT can do it? The reason Linux doesn't do it is because
toboot foff the file system it needs to mount the disk/file system, raid
has a bit different basica structure in a level above ext2 to maintain the
raid support, so to access it you would need to have the OS boot off
something else. That is probably a pretty bad/basic reason.
> nightly 'dd if=/dev/wd0s1a of=/dev/wd1s1a' would do it ( although that's
just make sure the drives are the EXACT same drives...and are
partitioned/formated EXACTLY the same...and make sure that works first :)
