Hi,

I have boot on raid1 and everything else on raid5. Also swap is raid5. 
It wasn't hard to do that.
If I did it again, I would also create a small (5GB) raid5 for testing 
stuff. Like when I try to reassemble or change something. Copy some 
movies and music to that drive. Whenever you need to change something 
with your real raid, do it with the test one first and see if you can 
still listen to your music.

Regards
kh
