May 14, 2019 at 10:36 comment added Aloha I have since learned more, and it does make a bit of sense. Data redundancy on the same disk, in case of software errors. I'll make edits to this in due time.
Mar 3, 2016 at 8:21 comment added Aloha @UnSined Interesting point. I haven't tried it either. I'll look into it when I have spare time (hint: I have a lot of spare time).
Mar 2, 2016 at 15:51 comment added Ficertyn While I agree, it's a terrible idea (no actual redundancy, slower, etc. etc. etc.), wouldn't it be possible to do with mdadm without modifying the kernel? You can build a software raid based on the partition instead of the physical disk using mdadm. That said, I haven't actually tried it, so it may prevent you from doing this. wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/RAID for more info.
