[NBLUG/talk] RAID1 and partitions

[Omar Eljumaily]

Does anybody have any tips for setting up a RAID1 array on Ubuntu?

I've looked at this:

https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/advanced-installation.html

It suggests setting up

md0 as a swap partition and
md1 as an ext4 / partition which is also bootable.

My experience with Centos is to do:

md0: /boot with ext2

md1: as an LVM volume creating partitions:

swap
and / as ext4

My goal is reliability and to be able to boot into either volume when 
the other is degraded.  Is there any standard way to do this?

Thanks,

Omar
