CarbonCopy has an option to fix permissions before cloning. It was
turned on.
So if a software RAID makes my system HD less, not more stable, what
approach should I take? My main reason for a spare is, it took me
years and years to tweak the system HD into its current form. Its
specialized work files took endless sessions to pick, assemble and
refine from a pool of quarter a million. (The file list binder alone
is 4" thick.) It's this intricate arrangement of work files, most of
which OSX insists on keeping in various peculiar corners of its system
drive, that make me want to create a spare as recreating this multi-
year effort when the drive fails.
(Of course, the idea of being able to just harness over and keep
riding on a second drive if the first drive crashes has some allure to
it too... :-)
