9 My RAID setup (two disks) looks like this:
10 /boot -> RAID 1
11 /var -> RAID 1
12 /var/tmp/portage -> RAID 0 (no use wasting space there, and it might
13 even speed up compilation a bit)
14 /usr -> RAID 0 (nothing in /usr that can't be simply reinstalled, thus
15 again no reason to waste space)
16 / -> RAID 1
