Hello,

background
I mostly followed these guides to build a raid1
workstation using (2) 2T seagate drives:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86+raid+lvm2-quickinstall.xml
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Software_RAID_Install
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/RAID/Software

Since I'm just using a very simple partion scheme
raid 1(boot, swap, /) I decided to forgo LVM, for now.
Maybe on the next install, I'll get Dale to coach
me on LVM2 ....? 
;-)

Both drives are identical (edited to fit gmane):
Disk identifier: 0xab83344a
   Device Boot Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   * 2048      526335      262144   fd  Lraid auto
/dev/sda2   526336    10573823     5023744   fd  Lraid auto
/dev/sda3   573824  3907029167  1948227672   fd  Lraid auto


OK so my question is does this fstab look ok, workable? improvements?

none        /proc       proc            defaults         0 0
/dev/cdrom  /mnt/cdrom  auto            noauto,rw,user   0 0
shm     /dev/shm   tmpfs        nodev,nosuid,noexec      0 0
/dev/sdb1 /usr/local/video2      ext4    defaults        0 1
/dev/md1          /boot          ext4    noauto,noatime  1 2
/dev/md3          /              ext4    noatime         0 1
/dev/md2          swap           swap    defaults        0 0

I did not setup initramfs, as those steps where not 
part of the guides, but googling I did see many places where
initramfs was suggested. thoughts and comments?

It's my first gentoo software raid.....
My email is down; so only post to this list!

hopeful this AM,
James
