I have done considerable experimenting with Linux RAIDs, including 
booting off a mirror and testing drive failures in that situation by 
just yanking the IDE cable off one of the drives. Keeps on running, and 
after the drive is replaced, one command resyncs the mirror. I also run 
a Linux software RAID 5 on my fileserver at home. Prety solid.

My FS of choice is reiser these days. Boots much faster after a crash 
than anything else I have tried.
