Depending on the reason mirroring is being mandated, the features in the filer can be used to counter most, if not all of these reasons.
My boss hit me with similar requirements wanting mirroring to protect from two disk failure. If every disk has a mirror, then if two disks fail, then you always have the mirrors.
I countered by saying what if both disks in the mirror fail?
He had no answer. :-)
He let me continue with a RAID5 solution.
