Really depends on what you have on your boot partition. ;-)
You mean in the initrd images :D
But seriously, when you need a /boot partition, it is only as useful
as the rest of the system.
This is true. In this particular case, I wanted the boot partition to
survive if the data disks survived. Kinda annoying to have the data
disks survive, but have to rebuild the system because the / or the /boot
paritions didn't survive.
With 500GB drives, an extra 200MB partition hardly matters, while it
will save me a lot of headaches should one or two drives fail (assuming
it's the right drives, and the data partition is still there).
Your minimum data and system disks are two. One from each mirror. So if
you put /boot on either pair, you will always have a working /boot and
working data/system access. There is absolutely no point in having /boot
on all four disks. You do not get any benefit at all.
