This is good to know. It seems this would work like I was thinking. If |
| 24 |
this rig were to die or something, I could unplug the drive with /home |
| 25 |
from this system, hook up to my spare rig and go from there. I may have |
| 26 |
to mount it manually at first but hey, at least the data is still there. |
