If you use a hardware RAID adapter, you can make two LUNs from the disks. So make one big RAID5 array but two logical drives. I would still use LVM anyway for management down the road.
Not all hardware RAID adapters might support this, but if yours does you will get data protection for "free" on your system drive.

Thats making me feel miserable .. ;)
I had this thought, and then a message on the list said the same and now one more message saying the same.
I am literally scavenging through Dell PERC guides to find out if and how this can be done.
Hope this is possible with Dell PERC.

If you have it I think the option is called flexraid on a perc.
