Ofcourse you do. That's why you buy it!
But why do people (in general) run raid-1 on their harddisks? To be
protected against disk failure.
Why do I want to reserve some pages for root? So that if all memory
seems to be exhausted, root still have the opportunity to login,
evaluate and eventually find a solution to the problem. Instead of
doing a hard reboot as I was forced to do (which meant that I put 14
people on hold for 15-20 minutes while the server was fighting it's way
back to life. Fortunately we didn't loose any data ...)
