Unfortunately there are several failure modes that won't cover. Uou are 
reliant on your BIOS being able to boot the second disk if the first 
has an error - Murphy dictates it will get an error half way through 
loading the kernel :)

Still it's OK if you can handle downtime and manual intervention on a 
failure.

Unfortunately I haven't actually been able to install Linux on a JMicron 
RAID-1 system which works fine with FreeBSD & Windows XP.
