Anyway, if you want to "sync up" two drives periodically, I'd suggest either using software RAID 1, and re-adding the drive to a normally-broken array, (look for the software RAID howto) or using rsync. (The latter doesn't perform nearly as well as the former, but has fewer dependencies at the filesytem level)
It all depends on what you're really after...
I thought about those 2 already... I don't know RAID much so it might be an opportunity to learn. I just don't want to break anything. I know rsync so there is less risk. Maybe DRBD?
DRBD ? Talk about risk. That is not for the faint of heart, and it is very easy to get it out of sync. Useful tool, but a real PITA.
RAID 1 looks like your best option.
But RAID 1 would require me to remake the partitions on the disks? I don't have room to put the data elsewhere. I have 117 Go of data on one disk (hde). Could I create the partitions on the other disk, then copy over to the other disk (hdg), then create the raid?
