Oh, that's a classic read!  Yes, in fact after many personal bad
experiences with RAID, that "NO RAID NO RAID NO RAID" paper got my
attention and hit home.  And it pretty much reinforced my negativity
associated with people who claim "RAID CURES ALL DATA LOSS
SCENARIOS!!!" ... but I am willing to give RAID6 a shot based on
Jarod's recommendation.  If I lose my data, that will be the last
straw though ... and then I will have to personally fly back east to
Red Hat and strangle Jarod :-)
