Unfortunately "budget" is the overriding factor here. Unlike RAID 0, I
thought there may be a way of recovering data from undamaged disks in a
linear array, although I guess the file system used has some say in this.

I hope to mitgate the risk somewhat by regularly using smartd to do long
self tests on the disks.

Richard
