all raid1 pairs:
sd[ab]1:md0: os0 /boot: 300m
sd[ab]2:md1: os1 /boot: 300m
sd[ab]3:md2: os0 swap: 10g
sd[ab]5:md3: os1 swap: 10g
sd[ab]6:md4: os0 lvm: half of remainder
sd[ab]7:md5: os1 lvm: the other half
start lvm with 2-10g for "the OS" ("/"), easily add custom data volumes,
openvz volumes, snapshots, all expandable/recyclable, even absorb os1 into
os0 at any time. i keep swap outside of lvm mostly so i have partitions to
play with if i need to play games with installations and/or recovery. i
used to use the same swap space for os0 and os1 until rhel6 came out with a
new raid1 format incompatible with the rhel5 raid1 format.
