Nononono. Never do that. Instead, create two raid1s and raid0
both, ie, just the opposite. Think about the two variants, and
I hope you'll come to the reason why raid0(2x raid1) is more
reliable than raid1(2x raid0). ;)

BTW, there's a raid10 module in current 2.6 kernels, which works
somewhat differently compared with raid0(2x raid1) etc.
