Perhaps this should be saved for an "advanced system > perfornance enhancement" elective at L3. What do others think? Well, around here it is seen (and used) as more of a cheap simple reliability enhancement, or reliability precaution. It is so "unadvanced" that there is support for doing software RAID in the RedHat 6.1 (nice pretty graphical) install menus and documented in their already... maybe other distributions also offer that? Surely this is general Level II stuff, not specialist at all, never mind being an "advanced system performance enhancement"? A simple example should suffice to make the point: all it takes for software RAID-1 is a second HD, and few extra mouse clicks during install (and the knowledge of what it is, and when it might make sense to use it, and how to recover when a drive fails -- which is more what could/should be tested). Is that "specialist"? I really think not.
