There are, as has been mentioned, historic reasons for this. But also--you can't boot from a software RAID array, so in that case /boot is a simple partition. In simple mirroring configurations, I usually go ahead and create a /bootsav partition on the other drive so the partition tables are the same--it makes maintenance easier, and with a simple cron job provides an on-system copy of the /boot partition if you have to switch to the other drive. -- Dave Ihnat President, DMINET Consulting, Inc. dihnat@xxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
