Is stripping really worth it.

Hello again:

For my mail implementation, I have 6 disks to use; two
to mirror the OS and 3 disks with one parity disk for
redundancy. My buddy over here wants to wants to put
in a mirror set disk0 and disk1, another mirror set of
disk2 and disk3, and a final mirror set of disk4 and
disk5 -- then incorporate that all in a strip set;
giving 25% to the OS and the rest to the data. I
really don't like his way just in case the OS hoses, I
have to break the stripset in order to repair the os
mirror set with a new jbod (hardware redundancy). Do I
have a valid point? Is worth the stripping for
performance? Or I am raising a stink for nothing?

The dog
