You are correct. It is RAID1 + RAID0. Whether or not it is better than
RAID5 on the same number of disks is questionable. However RAID50, where
two hardware RAID5 controllers are bonded together with software RAID0,
sounds interesting. Alternatively, using RAID0 to bond two disks
together, for a third disk to a RAID5 set. This could be done with the
old tools, can it be done with the new ones? I have two 2.2GB SCSI disks
and two 4.5GB SCSI disks I'd like to bond the two 2.2GB disks into one
4.4GB RAID0 array and then bond that plus the two 4.5GB disks into a
RAID5 array. Is this do-able?
