2.3.6 Creating Mirrored Volumes
Mirrored volumes require exactly two disks that are of the same size. When information is written to a
mirror volume, the same information is written to each disk. This provides fault tolerance and complete
redundancy for your data. Should one disk fail, you can use the mirrored copy. Because the same
information is written to two disks, mirrored volumes provide only 50% disk utilization. Mirrored volumes
also cannot be extended.
