I wondered what the prevalent opinion was about setting up a software
raid mirror of two sata drives under Linux LVM. This is on a 3.2GHz
quad core AMD system that almost certainly has plenty of free CPU. Will
this provide extra disk i/o that could be usefully applied to getting
more simultaneous tracks, or will using a software mirror interfere with
the RT kernel or cause latency issues/instability somewhere?
