Exactly. I have servers with 4, sometimes 6-disk RAID1 root partitions, because of KISS: all disks in the raid set should be equally configured (and these are boxes running raid1 on a partition for /, and raid10 on another for a lvm PV). As always, you MUST forbid lvm of ever touching md component devices even if md is offline, and that includes whatever crap is inside initrds... With the need to regenerate initrds due to mdadm, lvm, and other such easy-to-forget issues, we abolished the use of initrds in the datacenter. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
