This brings up an interesting question.  Where should mirrorred
disks be implemented, in the DBMS or in the OS?


Gould has implemented mirrored disks in the OS making explicit
mirroring by the DBMS unnecessary.

If interested, I suggest you look for the following paper
at Uniforum 1989:

	Using Mirrorred Disks to Enhance Data Availability,
		Jim Brennan, Dave Healy,
		(both at Gould CSD, Urbana).

You can surely get some info from a Gould Marketing Rep
if you want to see one uses this under UTX/32 (our UN*X).
