[linux-lvm] Using LVM Mirroring to obtain a usable backup

[Sven Eschenberg]

Configuring a nic in an initrd with busybox should not be too cumbersome.
For a straight forward approach one could use the kernel command line 
and tell it to get the info via dhcp.
And last but not least one could bootstrap load GPXE via the NICs PXE, 
which in turn passes the pxe discovered IP configuration into the 
kernel, or create some gpxe bootscript including the ip configuration to 
be passed to the kernel, if no dhcp is available.

There are quite some options actually ;-).
