is it possible to make a software raid of two mount points?

Hello!

Do anyone know if it is possible to make a software raid of two
external ethernet harddisks?
I ask this question because the storage are not under /dev/..., it is
just a mount point.

thx!

Like an NFS mount?

Someone recently asked "can I simulate a physical raid using image files
(loop device)?". I tested this very quickly and looks like it can be done.
(My reply went to alt.comp.linux.)

If it is possible to loopmount files on NFS mountpoints you could try
this. Wouln't recommend it for any serous application though. If you
want redundancy (raid1) I'd just backup/rsync/whatever between the two. I
don't think using swraid like this is very tested so I wouldn't trust it
with my data...

ahh I see ...
thank you!
