What's the point in not putting it on all available drives?
I have a similar setup here on one machine and I like the fact that each disc
is partitionied in exactly the same way and I could use each disc for booting
if I swapped them around. The added redundancy is a nice bonus.
Sure it wastes some space. But hey, what are a few megabytes when you have
hundreds of gigabytes on the data partition. It's just not worth to introduce
additional complexity just to gain 400mb IMHO.
