well ubuntu allows me to boot from MD RAID10...so there's something they are doing that allows that to boot.
That ubuntu version has probably switched to grub2. Good luck debugging it when it breaks - it is very different.
Plus it is very handy to have a /boot that is readable/mountable without LVM or MDRAID drivers loaded and configured.
/boot is only 256-512MB partition that is read only during boot and updated only when there is a new kernel, so it ain't no big thing. Even when RH goes to grub2 I think I'll keep this setup by default.
Don't make it less than 512M - we're debating between 512M and 1G here.
You may have noticed that redhat recommends 250M http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installati...
Yeah, well, some of us have many servers more than 4 yrs old; so I'm assuming that three, four years from now, with CentOS 8 or 9, it'll do the same, and want maybe 800M. Plan for the future, y'know.
