electric relaxation

I’m surprised I didn’t think of doing this earlier, but anyway it seems moderately useful. Currently, my website is backed by a virtual disk sitting on one of the two hard drives in my Media Center machine. It should be easy and simple enough to create a second virtual disk on the other physical disk, then use software RAID-1 and LVM or some crap like that in the guest to get basic mirroring and insulate me from failure of one of the physical disks.

I’m surprised that I didn’t see any notes about this in the VMware knowledge base. I couldn’t be the only person who would want something like this, could I?
