I don't at this time have a device free to plug in locally to back up the
volume to destroy and rebuild as linear, so that will have to wait. When
I do get that chance, though, will that help me get to the awesome goal
of actually INCREASING performance by including a RAID0 layer?
stacking layers over layers will *never* increase performance - a pure
RAID0 will but if one disk is dead all is lost
additional RAID0 on top or below another RAID won't help
your main problem starts by slicing your drives in dozens of partitions
and "the idea being that each piece of which should take less time to
rebuild if something fails"
when a drive fails all your partitions on that drive are gone - so
rebuild isn't faster at the end
with that slicing and layers over layers you get unpredictable
head-movemnets slowing things down
keep it SIMPLE!
