There seem to be two ways of handling a raid'ed, lvm'ed boot partition: - Use an initrd image with statically linked tools to get raid and lvm bootstrapped. - Grub2 seems to have raid and lvm support built in. My initial plan was to have a raid 1 boot partition and a separate raid10 + lvm array for "everything else". I totally undersized the boot partition (66MB? WTF was I thinking?), and have never had time to configure either of those options plus figuring out how to cram something bootable into the space; I just boot of a separate EIDE drive. If I do, I'll probably just ignore my "66 MB folly", and boot directly into / on raid 10 + lvm /dev/sd[abcd]2. -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo $...@${b}
