Remove all references to concatenation, add a brief paragraph explaining what striping is and why it provides superior I/O performance through parallel I/O to multiple disks simultaneously. * Do not alternate between calling striping raid0 and raid1. Consistently refer to it as raid0, as raid1 is mirroring. * Cleanup / reorganize the example set of commands for creating a stripe of two ATA disks. Wrap it in a DocBook tag with individual to provide a title for this procedure and make the numbered steps very clear to follow without confusing verbiage and side tangents adding confusion. * Expand 'redundant array of inexpensive disks' in tag for mouseover on first use of HTML output. * Remove some poorly worded, confusing, and contradictory sentences and paragraphs.
