Re: Woody root on LVM on RAID

Although I don't have the experience, I'd advise against using a soft-RAID root partition because if you don't have the right kernel for recovery you could be in pretty big trouble. You're better off using a separate drive as a root partition for LVM or soft-RAID. Calyth
