ok dave, look at it this way.
1 in a million chance that one drive will fail.
1 in a million chance that you other drive will fail.
2 disk raid0 setup, either disk can destroy your filesystem.
2 in a million chance of md device failure.
two disks doubles your chances of railure in raid0. three disks triple the
chance. and do not think you can recover any of the data, cause the
striping makes that a bitch. i know, i have done it.
i ONLY use raid0 for news spool. anything else, hardware or otherwise,
dont come crying to the list about it when one disk failure brings down
multiple gigs of data.
