> Is there any reason why /boot can't be on a RAID? I think you would have to use lilo, but if you're serious about resilience, then you would be better off having removable bootable media, not just rely on raid1 for boot. This means you don't have to go from the standard grub ubuntu setup. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Boot+Root+Raid+LILO-3.html
