Hmm. Not sure if doing that is efficient though. That's kind of like... Uhm... Patting your head with one hand while rubbing your stomach with the other (for lack of any better analogies). Lots of IO for little data.

With software raid you can use different raid levels for each partition, something that cannot be done with hardware raid. In this real example, the /boot partiition has been assigned to raid 1 and the remaining partitions to raid 0.
md3 : active raid0 sdb3[1] sda3[0]
8192896 blocks 64k chunks
md4 : active raid0 sdb4[1] sda4[0]
1447729408 blocks 64k chunks

How would you setup a Raid 1 and Raid 0 with the same 2 disks ?!?

Wondering if there is any merit in having two /boot partitions (one on each physical drive) and setting it up as raid1 instead of raid0 and all the rest as raid0?

Oky finaly a easy way to install your harddrive(s) via linux
You will need to do a reinstall (i will add screen shots asap)
Oky goto OVH manager, servers, Reinstall / Change OS
When you get to "Choice of the partitions" goto "Other layout of partitions" and pick "RAID software"
You can leave everything till you see "Mountpoint" pick "boot" and say give it 500meg (or wotever you want)
NOW when u see "RAID type :" you pick 0 and thats its you can use both your harddrives.
