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?
