implement Linux software RAID 1 arrays on pairs of several partitions. I would like to
know if it's feasible to create one single RAID 1 array which spans the entire size of
the drives but have smaller partitions within the array for /, swap and a big LVM
container for /var, /tmp, /usr and /home. Currently I'm considering having separate
RAID1 arrays for /, swap and a huge array for the LVM section. I've seen this
configuration being mentioned before but I think it would be simpler to have one
big RAID1 array container instead.
Are there any advantages to having separate arrays instead of one big one? Obviously
the smaller ones would sync faster but what about actual performance once the OS
has booted? Thank you all in advance.
Kind Regards, Jeff Gray.
