Greg,
    Thanks for your input.
If I'm understanding you correctly, the
two file systems reside on separate physical
disks. So, if one filesystem gets trashed you
will still the other. Am I right ?
    If that's the case, then this configuration
is doable with a SAN.

        thanks.
                ed
