RAID0-ing eMMC and uSD?
 
I've been using a 32 GB uSD for a while now, and I'm wondering if we can stripe the eMMC and uSD to alleviate some access speed problems. (striped /home, striped MyDocs, striped swap.)

Since the rootfs isnt being striped, and Maemo already has ubifs drivers compiled in-kernel, booting wouldn't be an issue.

I think that RAID0 support will need to be added to the kernel, and boot scripts amended as necessary (not referencing mmcblk0p1 and instead md0p1, etc)

This concept draws me towards the rather brilliant, mostly amusing http://cs.joensuu.fi/~mmeri/usbraid/

Biggest issue is the large blocksize of sd/mmc/flash type storage, and doing raid0 would just double the blocksize.
