looking for a OS that can run softwar raid0 on the '/' partition

hi there,

i've tried using fedora to setup my raid0 on my storage computer but it isn't working out. so i'm looking for an OS (very basic all it needs is samba) that can run software raid0 on a bootable partition.

I have done that in both solaris and linux(using mirroring and not stripping). There are plenty of howto's on converting / to raid. One question though, why would you want to use 0? I would rather have some type of redundancy on a file server.

Solaris can certainly do that (http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/jer...ager_x86_root), and it is going to be simpler when zfs support will be added in grub (http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/tabriz?entry=zfs_boot).

the files i want are no so much important i just want space, if it falls over and the files are lost, i wont loose too much sleep over it, i'm not a big Solaris user, can anyone think of a linux distro that can do it?
