What about disks?  Can LVM do what I need?  Multiple disks == more power, so
I'd like a minimalistic solution that still has some redundancy for my
"important" data.

If there are any LVM experts or linux disk experts here -- I'd like to know
if I can have a 40-80Gb disk, mirror'ed onto a partition of a bigger video
disk?

That way, I can buy one small disk for boot / os / important files, and one
big disk for video + mirror of the important stuff.

But, every time I mess with LVM it seems really complex.  Maybe a better
solution is just one big disk, and a nightly rsync to a backup NAS or
something?
