Hi Mike,
You may already know.?, Out of the box the only "buntu" based distro that I'm aware of that offers the above is "Ubuntu Server"
To achieve this "striping" you need to use RAID, either a hardware RAID controller, or Software.
In the case of "buntu" based distros, software raid uses "mdadm", not installed by default, but is in repo.
I have been playing with RAID 10, 4 disks, but I keep failing at the last step for some reason
I did get 1 method going in a Virtualbox, but it had a single point of failure by having an extra /boot partition on 1 disk.
It should be possible with latest GRUB to boot from RAID array, but I seem to be missing something.
