That's no good, as it puts the same load on the second drive as is on the
first, so they'll die about the same time. I suppose I won't be able to
use mirroring after I replace the failed drive with another model, as the
one I have will become unavailable eventually. Well, nothing as simple as
"cp /dev/hda /dev/hdc" anyhow.

That's not a problem, as long as it isn't interactive. I'm interested in
a non-live, batch-mode mirror of the drive, so that when (not if) the
drive dies, I still have my data.
