Bah; all that convolution only gets you mirroring. Those of us with
more sophisticated requirements RAID-0 our root partitions while
mixing RAID-0 and RAID-1 for our home directories under Debian! And I
did not have to jump through all those hoops to get it working.
Having a pre-existing root image available via NFS and a Knoppix disc
help out a bit with the acrobatics. And the persistent superblock is
your friend. Just be sure to keep your raidtab written down somewhere
should you render your machine unbootable. :-) Stuff I really care
about goes under the RAID-1 mount point (via cryptoloop), and I get
twice as much disk space for the rest.
