experiences with /dev/md? (multiple device) drivers ?

[lukas@teorica0.ifisicacu.unam.mx]

Hi,

Does anybody here have experience with the multiple device drivers
under linux? I have a machine with two HD (2.5GB each), connected as
hda and hdc, to set up. I'm contemplating whether to use th MD with striping
(raid0) to join partitions and to get parallel access to both disks in
a transparent way. I would guess that /tmp and /home might benefit.

My main worry is reliability of the driver. And speed matters, too.

Hints and recommendations welcome!

			Thanks,
				Lukas
