Hello all,
I installed FreeBSD on 1 hard disk of the laptop. The disk layout is as below:
The partion `a` on last slice is used for backup purpose. I often use `rsync` to copy data from /home to /backup (in case something wrong to /home). This task consumes so much time and CPU resource.
I wonder if we can use `gmirror` to mirror the /home to /backup . This is almost a soft raid-1 solution but for two slices on the same disk.
Is this possible? And how about the performance?
Thank you for replies.

Code:
slice 1, partition b => swap
slice 2, partition a => root (/)
slice 3, partition d => home (/home)
slice 4, partition a => backup (/backup)
