What about partitioning the drives first, installing a smallish partition for boot, then a second much larger partition on each for the RAID10?
What's the advantage of this compared to a separate drive? In your proposed scenario, if the /boot drive dies, you have an unbootable system anyway.
Firstly, there would be 4 redundant copies of the boot. Easy enough to
accomplish. If any one goes down, easy to pick one of the others.
Secondly, there is only room for 4 drives in this chassis
Thirdly, cost
Now, back to my original question:
Making the RAID10, near.
In reading the man pages, it seems near 2 is the default option for create?
Is there any reason to be wary of the stock CentOS 6 2.6.32 kernel?
