Hi,
I believe the ability to have /boot on RAID was removed in fc15 so in
fc16, /boot was a single partition, like /dev/sda1. I recently had my
primary disk fail on one of my systems, and recovering with a failed
sda was very difficult.
Given that I have at least 4 machines w/ /boot on (software) RAID1
(and LVM on software RAID5), that's news to me.
BTW, all of these machines ran F15 without issues before being moved to F16.
Has this issue been fixed in fc17? Is it now possible install RAID on
/boot so there are multiple disks that can be used to read the boot
information?
I still don't understand why LVM is the default layout method when
there is no redundancy. I also choose to create my own filesystem
layout, as tedious as it has become.
Again, LVM over RAID1/5/6 is *fully* supported under F15 and F16, at
least in my case.
