the better config is

/       256MB
/tmp    256MB
/var    1024MB
/usr    4096MB
/opt    rest od disks ( aka /home )


#
# two root raid
#
/       /dev/hda1 + /dev/hdd1   /dev/md0        raid1
/tmp    /dev/hda2 + /dev/hdd2   /dev/md1        raid1
/var    /dev/hda3 + /dev/hdd3   /dev/md2        raid1
/usr    /dev/hda5 + /dev/hdd5   /dev/md3        raid1
/swap   /dev/hda6 + /dev/hdd6   /dev/md4        raid1

/2      /dev/hdb1 + /dev/hdc1   /dev/md5        raid1
/2tmp   /dev/hdb2 + /dev/hdc2   /dev/md6        raid1
/2var   /dev/hdb3 + /dev/hdc3   /dev/md7        raid1
/2usr   /dev/hdb5 + /dev/hdc5   /dev/md8        raid1
/2swap  /dev/hdb6 + /dev/hdc6   /dev/md9        raid1

# stripe um if you want ( i rather not ) -- better to use ( messy) 
# root-raid5 
#
/       /dev/md0 + /dev/md5     raid0
/tmp    /dev/md1 + /dev/md6     raid0
/var    /dev/md2 + /dev/md7     raid0
/usr    /dev/md3 + /dev/md8     raid0


#
# raid5 your data ( /opt aka /home )
#
/opt    /dev/hda7 + /dev/hdb7 + /dev/hdc7 + /dev/hdd7   /dev/md1 raid5
