Yes. You can either use mdadm to create a partitionable raid device, or use LVM/EVMS (which would be my recommendation) to create logical volumes on the array. Just beware that /boot should either be it's own partition (non-raid), or on a RAID-1 array (with no partitions). Otherwise the boot loader will have trouble locating and loading the kernel. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
