This is good. Please keep reporting :-) Did you experience any stability 
issues as sudden system freezes and the likes? I really need high uptimes.

I guess I will work with software RAID as I've had good experience with it. 
LVM is on my "to learn" list but I haven't really seen any advantage of it 
that would make me run and scream ;-)

Tobias
