[CLUE-Tech] linux support with RAID

[Keith Hellman]

I've never done this before but - you may recall from my whirlwind tour of
LVM during the last KISS session, that I was unable to "snapshot" my ext3
filesystem unless I put the journal on a separate device.  man mke2fs for
more details...

I believe there is snapshoting available with some hardware raid products,
and I wouldn't want you to run into the same problem...
