1	Put /boot on raid1, / on raid6. Don't bother with lvm - it is just another
2	layer that can go wrong.
3	If Raid6 is like raid5 you should be able to have the kernel auto assemble
4	everything, so no initrd is needed. Pay attention to the metadata format when
5	creating the raid.
6	Also have a look at stripe sizes.
7	And stripe_cache_size.
