I am currently running my samba servers with High availability using
Heartbeat (http://www.linux-ha.org/) and drbd (http://www.drbd.org/).
drbd is a network block device (pretty much raid 1 over ethernet).
So I have 2 identical systems with two gigabit nics. They use a dedicated
gigabit link to
Thank you so much for your input. I will start working on implementing
many of your suggestions.

Maybe you can use RAID1 and on top of that, LVM.
So you can just add 2 more disk for adding a new RAID1 and
then just resize your LVM partition.

Seems like the 3ware adapter is the best solution along with using the
LVM. I will look closely at this solution.
Thanks alot

We're running a similar setup here actually, so a few notes that may be of
assistance to you are as follows:
#1 - RAID 0 + RAID 1 is poor for performance, if you want striping and
mirroring together you should probably be looking to some sort of parity
striping mode like RAID 5. We're using 3Ware
