If its raid0 you have bigger problems, about the same problems is you had used LVM and skipped raid all together, but even given the lack of redundancy, LVM makes more sense than raid0 in linux. So I'm guessing no sane person would use raid0 just to concatenate drives in linux, and you probably don't have raid0.
Hmmm; last time I saw him my doctor said he thought I was still sane, yet I'm using raid0 for exactly that purpose... My previous experience with LVM was that it was a PITA to set up and then it got corrupted due to a power outage. As a result /home was completely hosed :-(. I learned from that - I won't use LVM again. /home is now on a raid1 array, with nightly backups to an external drive, and non-critical data (e.g. stuff downloaded from the net) goes onto a raid0 array that I used to concat three smaller partitions that were previously used for other purposes.
