i'd also be curious to see any responses to this. I can see making two
stripes easy enough, but then just how to mirror them as a single device?

so it might be worth exploring striping my mirrors
with a RAID 0+1. However, I am unclear on how well
tested the linux software raid support (and installer
setup tools) are for such a configuration.
