I have been way less than impressed with software raid and LVM on linux. I have all ways found not mirroring partitions to be way better. It makes it way easier to repair the damn thing do fewer steps. When ZFS comes available, I plan to actually run it across multiple mirrors. It has built in JBOD, but it does not do mirroring. It just does stripping.
