I've been wondering about this too.  I went to Evan's
Freaking-Awesome-Amazing presentation on RAID/LVM over at UVSC, and a
lot of things finally make sense now, but I still don't know how to go
about setting up a machine like Greg wants.  I know that you can set the
two disks up in RAID 1, then use LVM for nifty partitioning, but as that
setup only exists in software, is there a way to mount / (root) or /boot
on there?  And what about the swap partition?  I know there's just some
underlying principles that I'm not seeing.
