Anyone who is serious about protecting there data and maiximising
their availability uses multiple, disparate paths to seperate I/O
sub-systems. That way failure of any one component does not result in
a long-term[1] outage while you wait around for someone to find and
replace the necessary path.
The only solution to this problem is software RAID1 or dual-ported
disk and an HA cluster.
