How do you create several RAID devices if you only have 2 drives? Is there a way to create virtual RAID sets? That sounds
too scary.
You create raid devices over partitions that don't span the
entire drive.
Why would this be a configuration that someone would want to do? So you can have both a 0 (performance) and 1 (redundancy) on the same physical drives, depending on your partition? Just seems odd.
Sometimes it's unavoidable, like the 100MB /boot partition which needs to standalone and be a raid0 or raid1, but the rest of the drive can participate in a raid5 or raid6...
