Guess the friend was right, although I had a feeling he would be.  Well,
there isn't much data on the arrays yet, so I think I might just rebuild

Ok.  I need to mount all the storage on one file system, so having two
arrays won't work (I want to mount everything on /srv).

Thanks to everyone for the input!
