> disc caching. The idea of perhaps caching writes onto a RAID-0 system

I meant caching onto an arbitrary volume, probably using a simple
journalling "filesystem".  Personally, a RAID 1 volume would be my choice,
but the type of target volume would have no bearing on the implementation.

RAID 1 writes are slower than RAM (duh!) but faster than RAID 5... and
they don't have the reliability issues associated with writeback RAM
cache (duh!).

Such is what I thought... but I still had to ask. :-)
