I have a 200G / on RAID1 with no issue at all (no /boot).
Ehm, until sometime early this year grub couldn't boot from raid, so I used to manually mirror sda1 and sdb1 with dd everytime I made a change to one of them. :( Now that you can run grub with raid1, there is no good reason for seperate /boot anymore. Old habits die hard I guess. :) > Also, don't forget swap. RAID1 is good for that too. Hence why I have swap on lvm on raid (So I can resize swap if I want to).
