Re: [gentoo-user] RAID6 for / ?

[Volker Armin Hemmann]

Put /boot on raid1, / on raid6. Don't bother with lvm - it is just another 
layer that can go wrong.
If Raid6 is like raid5 you should be able to have the kernel auto assemble 
everything, so no initrd is needed. Pay attention to the metadata format when 
creating the raid.
Also have a look at stripe sizes.
And stripe_cache_size.
