Paul,
I haven't done it. I have done mirrors underneath, but I am curious what
is the reasoning and/or application. The only thing I can think up is
so you can migrate your mirrors to faster drives easily. However,
putting the mirror underneath should allow you to move off one mirror
onto another.
I don't believe that mirroring can be expanded like a filesystem can. In
order to make the mirror bigger, you have to break the mirror as far as
I know. So what are you planning on doing with it, or is it just "to
see if it could be done".
Thanks,
Kirby
