Yes, you can set up software raid on a desktop OS (on Linux). See: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO.html It is preferred to run Volume Manager on RAID for better protection of your data. Running RAID over a single disk with multiple volumes will not provide protection. If the disk goes bad, you will lose your data inspite of the RAID implementation. Namita
