For a basic RAID1, the best is to keep it as simple as possible. So |

mirroring while disk looks better. It will also keep MBR/GPT synced. |

I tend to make manual partitions that I mirror but this is because I |

usually require to do more complex setups (e.g. mixing mirror types), or |
| 16 |
because I need to have the setup more flexible. |
