Is there a software RAID tutorial, or how-to, or README that would behttp://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/x8664-multi-i
specific to Fedora?
nstall-guide/s1-diskpartitioning.html
all my questions e.g. what is the wisdom (or not) of RAIDing the /boot
partition?
Speed is not important, nor is the data likely to be very valuable, unles you have a special reason to do so, don't.
Same question for the swap partition?
Speed is important here, as is reliability to a point, since the computer is likely to crash if the swap partition goes down during normal running. After a reboot you won't be wanting to recover the data, so it depends how much you care if your computer crashes when a hdd blow up.
Linux software RAID is a better bet than cheap "winRAID" controllers.
If you put swap on a raid array you will more than likely find it will not be used, as I found out.
I have now deleted the array for swap and made it 2 seperate swaps and put them in fstab with both
having the same priority.
