I have a newish high-end machine here that's causing me some problems
with RAID, but looking at log files and dmesg I don't think the
problem is actually RAID and more likely udev. I'm looking for some
ideas on how to debug this.
The hardware:

Intel Core i7-980x

I've got a new gentoo box with two drives that i'm using raid1 on. On

I'm thinking I'll keep it as simple as possibly and just spread out
the Gentoo install over the multiple hard drives without using RAID,
but maybe not. It would be nice to have everything on RAID but I don't
know if I should byte that off for my

The LVM Install doc is pretty clear about not putting these in LVM:
/etc, /lib, /mnt, /proc, /sbin, /dev, and /root
/boot shouldn't be there, either. Not sure about /bin
which seems sensible. From an install point of view I'm wondering

Hi,
I'm starting to put together a server-type machine with multiple purposes:
1) MythTV server
2) General backups for another fast machine I'm going to build
3) Wife's new desktop
Since all of these requirements are pretty modest but I want high
reliability I'd like to do software RAID

Is there a way that will speed this up? The drives are new, but contain random

Most of the wait I would assume is due to the size of the volume and
creating parity. If it was my array I'd probably just sit tight and
wait it out.
