Is it possible to have a root partition on vinum'ed disk Alex> and benefit from mirroring? If yes, how do I do it? My current design for this type of situation is to have 64M boot partitions and 256M swap partitions on each disk. I then use some number of the swap partitions and one of the 64Mboot partitions. Since boot partitions don't change much, I just back up my changes to one of the other partitions every so often.
