With grub2, your /boot can be an LV on a RAID6 if you want it to be. The only thing that does not work is /boot on dmcrypt. Having /boot on a separate RAID1, however, might be easier for recovery, especially if you are not so familiar yet. Later, however, it doesn't matter, i.e. Debian installer rescue mode or grml can easily give you access to a system, and Super Grub Disk can boot such a system too, should you ever need it. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems "computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes." -- edsgar w. dijkstra
