Unless I miss something on AVLinux:

Loosing two disks means you got more then two coupled. If so, you have
definitely several of the same charge in that array. (Don't deny it, the human
laziness speaks against you.)
Recovering will still do heavy load on the disks. Now calculate the
probability of two disks of the same charge failing without a third disk of
that charge failing during recovery. Pretty low, huh?

Use raid10 with at least four disks or direct raid1 of several disks. Or stay
dynamic with lvm...

Good night,

Arnold
