Hello, |

I mostly followed these guides to build a raid1 |
| 5 |
workstation using (2) 2T seagate drives: |

Since I'm just using a very simple partion scheme |
| 11 |
raid 1(boot, swap, /) I decided to forgo LVM, for now. |
| 12 |
Maybe on the next install, I'll get Dale to coach |
| 13 |
me on LVM2 ....? |
| 14 |
;-) |

Both drives are identical (edited to fit gmane): |

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

I did not setup initramfs, as those steps where not |
| 35 |
part of the guides, but googling I did see many places where |
| 36 |
initramfs was suggested. thoughts and comments? |
