Ohhhh sorry, forgive my ignorance I meant I want to use
disk mirroring, which is RAID1 I believe!!!!!

Currently we do cd burning on a debian-stable box with 2.4.20-wolk4.14s.p2
kernel (WOLK patchset), using SCSI emulation with module ide_scsi.
Sometimes this module makes the kernel panic, It depends on the CDROMs
one uses. There is one particular brand which always panics the kernel.
That is why I want to ensure my ass and move the whole process to UML
