putting /boot on a raid partition is difficult. because the kernel is loaded from the /boot partition. but the raid driver code is inside the kernel. so how can you load the kernel if you can't read the raid volume?
that said there are ways around it. but they are not straightforward. the easiest scheme is to use hardware raid. that's what all the business-critical folks do anyway. very few people use software raid for mission-critical applications. On 5/8/07, Hazel Lopez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
That would mean, I would leave a /boot partition on any of the disks? But that wouldn't it undermine the purpose of having raid1 at all? My machine ought to run via any one of the disks that have the filesystem on, right?
