Yes, the /boot partition can be md raid. But it can't be LVM. We're
using md raid for all server that have no hardware raid controllers.
GRUB can be installed on both drives at the same time, no problem.
Good idea and I think it should be no performance problem. But use LVM!
Don't do md raid for each partition you need. Make 2 md raids and put
LVM on the 2nd (first for /boot) and use logicalvolumes for your
partitions...
I believe that if /boot is on RAID1, that md partition has to be on one
of the first two disks (eg hda, hdb)?
Is there any problem with having /boot on a RAID1 partition across 4
disks as follows?
/boot / (LVM)
hda RAID1 RAID5
hdb RAID1 RAID5
hdc RAID1 RAID5
hdd RAID1 RAID5
What about swap? It is best on RAID1, RAID5, LVM, something else or
doesn't matter?
