each partition is raided seperately with mdadm.... you could make the
whole thing one LVM partition thats raid10, then use LVM to dice it up
into file systems.
if you have 4 drives and are doing software raid10, you won't be
swapping drives with different sizes without a WHOLE lotta pain.
Ok, so how do I do this? Let's say I have 4x 160GB HDD's now, and plan
on replacing them with 4x 500GB HDD's in the future?
What setup would help with a upgrade in the future?
/boot shouldn't be mirrored, as the BIOS won't know how to boot it.
leave /dev/sdb1 the same size as /dev/sda1 and call it /boot2 and try
to remember to copy /boot to /boot2 each time you update the kernel.
I understand this, but how do you boot from /boot2 on the second HDD if
the 1st have failed?
