Here at work we just use non raided disks for workstations which run linux.
and this is proper way to do this.
The home directories are on nfs, so when a disk fails it's replaced very fast
See above. I cannot imagine any other configuration.

Hi Bosko,
I do not have any experience with these kind of controllers, so I could just
guess.
I have a lot ;) but the only thing i always do is to disable "RAID" in
BIOS just after receiving new machine. whole experience.

But mirror (raid10) array is created through LSI MegaRAID BIOS. I'm
trying to replicate behaviour from FreeBSD 8.3 (array created through
RAID BIOS, seen as a device in OS).

i would recommend otherwise.
