yeah, you're probably right. but for some reason, Anaconda is still
telling me there's a gigabyte of unused space remaining (105x megabytes
where i've forgotten what the "x" was.) Might that be because I
didn't put swap on both drives (and I think I set up swap as a gig)?
should I put swap on both drives? should it be RAID1 also, or just
two swap partitions not in any RAID volume?
(I remember seeing a somewhat technical article in the last couple
of years that talked of a potential corruption issue if one puts
swap into a Linux software RAID-1 volume, but no longer recall
the details.)
