+7. Should I use RAID0?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ No.
+
+7b. Why not?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ RAID0 has zero redundancy. If you stripe a RAID0 across X disks, you
+ increase the likelyhood of complete loss of the filesystem by a factor of X.
+
+ The same applies to LVM by the way.
+
+ If you want/must used LVM or RAID0, put it on RAID1 arrays (RAID10/RAID1+0,
+ or LVM on RAID1).
