It is simpler than that. You do not need to use mnesia:add_table_copy/3
if you want to create a fragmented table where all fragments are
replicated to 2 given nodes. This command

  mnesia:create_table(f, [{frag_properties, [{n_fragments, 100},
  {n_disc_copies, 2}, {node_pool, [a@REDACTED, b@REDACTED]}]}]).

will create a table with 100 fragments where each fragment will
have 2 replicas (one on node a and the other on node b) with
storage type disc_copies.
