You are probably better off if you don't mix the installed OS with the partitions you want to export, so you would use a small raid1 for the OS, then add everything else after it is up and running. I'd do it that way for other distributions too, even if I eventually want /home or /var on different raid partitions. It is easy enough to mount the new space under a temporary name, copy over the existing contents, rename the old directories and set up fstab to mount the new ones when you reboot. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
