I don't understand why you would say this. Whether I set up a RAID1 in the garage and one in the house and RAID0 them, or just set up a RAID10, it should not have any impact on the space. And more arrays means -more- management hassle, not less.
And I don't understand how you can set up an array without partitions? Do you then LVM it and partition -that-? Is that actually possible?
