Pam,
        Disk mirroring to separate partitions on the same physical drive.
I suspect not. NetWare is generally more cautious about these things (the
purpose of mirroring is partly to overcome drive failures) and likely baulks
when the same drive is used. But,... I haven't tried it that way.
        If purchasing or mounting two large drives for mirroring becomes a
problem then on can partition the larger to match the smaller and mirror
that logical volume, leaving the other partition(s) unmirrored. Most PC
boxes can hold a large full high drive and a smaller half high, plus the
usual floppies. External mounting ($$$) solves that problem too.
