[LUG] Software RAID-1 on USB drives

 

Hi all,

Just a quick "what if" question...

2 USB drives where periodically rsync is run to duplicate drive 1 onto
drive 2.  Drive 1 is static, drive 2 (should) get removed every evening
and taken off-site.

If the two drives were setup in a software-based RAID-1 (mirror)
configuration, would they automatically reconcile any differences when
drive 2 was re-attached?  If not, how can differences between two
software RAID-0 drives be reconciled?  Is there a command that initiate
the reconciliation?  Can this be added to a udev rule so that when
drive 2 is re-attached the reconciliation happens automatically?

Cheers.
Grant. :)
