Hi Len, After your great advice a few months ago, I sprang for a second 80 GB drive and did the raid1 thing. I have /boot on its own raid1, then a second raid1 pair of partitions for the system which has LVM over top of that, including root and swap. The remainder of the disks are straight PVs for LVM on which I have /home. When I get into video editing, I'll create a striped LV as a scratch area. I've simulated drive failues (pulled the plug on one or the other drive) and the system has been fine. The install CD's rescue mode assembles things and lets me run a chroot. I haven't had the misfortune of a real error that required fixing. Anyway, root on LVM over raid1 works fine for me.
