Mirroring

[Mohamed Farouk <mohamed.farouk@memscap.com>]

Dear Sir


First i read about your experience in the Unix  Administration, and it 
is ereal great, hoping one day to reach your point.

Second, i have a question concerning the Mirroring technique as i use it 
here, knowing that i am working with RedHat linux 7.2. My question is:


How can i make the slave or the backup disk bootable in case of master 
disk crash?

More exploration:

I have 2 hard disks, one is the master and the other is the slave or the 
backup, or the mirror (whatever), i finished installing them and they 
are working fine (till now !!), but when i make a test to remove anyone 
to see if the other will work properly (as this will be the case in case 
of anyone of them crash), i found that the master one is working fine 
(which contain the boot commands) while the other failed to boot. I 
tried to put a bootable disk but it gives me something related to kernel 
panics.

Your help will be much appreciatted:
