Good point! I hadn't thought of that. I'll have to look into what setting 
1+0 requires.

Which brings me to ask, has anyone tried setting up RAID on Linux. I'd be 
using RH7.1 and was wondering if RAID support is good or not. The stuff I 
have read on the web (though possibly dated) seemed to suggest RAID support 
was still not as good as it could be.
