Setup Goals:
- /boot as /dev/md0: RAID1 of /dev/hda1 & /dev/hdc1 for redundancy
- / as /dev/md1: RAID1 of /dev/hda2 & /dev/hdc2 for redundancy
- swap*2 with equal priority: /dev/hda3 & /dev/hdc3 for more speed
- GRUB installed in boot records of /dev/hda and /dev/hdc so either
drive can fail but system still boot.
Interesting that swap isn't mirrored. Wonder what happens when a drive dies, and then a particular lost bit of swap needs paging back in... I always mirror swap as well. Maybe I'm wrong.
