-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have set up a system with just raid 1 arrays for everything (including /) with SL6 and have seen only one issue. The first boot after install fails, but this can be dealt with by running a live dvd/cd and then rerunning grub-install. I think the fully raided setup seems to confuse the boot installation and the boot sector gets installed on one of the two disks (the wrong one in my case).
