Actually I wouldn't bother with any kind of raid if your disk is only going to 
contain /home. It's mega-overkill. On a Myth backend /home is tiny, and nothing 
you can't backup onto a floppy or CD or USB stick. Worst case, you might lose 
some channel icons. You do do backups of sensitive info right? Leaving your 
entire physical security to raid (of any type) is IHMO foolishness.
