Note that from the 2.6.5-rc1 kernel on, you can RAID1 2 complete
disks and partition the MD device. It's more natural, and performance
will be better. The kernel RAID1 code tries to do smart things with
head locations / seeks, but it doesn't know about multiple MD devices
so if you're using more than one MD device on a diskset, that
optimization is gone.
