/boot raid 1 200mb 4 drives no spares (I guess this makes 4 copies of the data?)

What't the point of putting this on more than 2 drives?

What's the point in not putting it on all available drives?

I have a similar setup here on one machine and I like the fact that each disc is partitionied in exactly the same way and I could use each disc for booting if I swapped them around. The added redundancy is a nice bonus.

Sure it wastes some space. But hey, what are a few megabytes when you have hundreds of gigabytes on the data partition. It's just not worth to introduce additional complexity just to gain 400mb IMHO.
