I'm doing something similar, I already have a file server, I plan on having a seperate MythTV computer with its own recording drives, but I plan on doing xvid encodes to my file server. RAID 0 is striped, RAID 1 is mirroring. I want to basically have one large drive on the file server with some sort of parity backup in case I loose one of the drives. I'm hoping to do this with LVM and one drive for parity repair.
