Linking Chunks

Use the UNIX link (ln) command to link the actual files or raw devices of the mirror chunks to mirror pathnames. If a disk failure occurs, you can link a new file or raw device to the pathname, eliminating the need to physically replace the disk that failed before the chunk is brought back online.
