Well, yes.. but who *really* cares about something as trivial as that stuff? the stuff that actually matters is *data* not system.. :P As I only need to spend 15-30 minutes installing TSL from scratch (using PXE) I don't see much point in complicating the system with RAID for root.. As a matter of fact, I have only once experienced a system death due to the root disk permanently failing.. and that was a deathstar disk.
