+# this involves complicated partitioning (with lvm)
+# the popular version of Grub doesn't cope with this.
+# Thus, we need a boot partition not under LVM
+# allocate about 1G for /root ext3 filesystem
+# partition the two disks the same way
+# that means you have two disks, each with a 1G partition and
+# a "rest-of-the-space"G partition
+# now, combine the two 1G partitions into a RAID 1 (as /boot ext3)
+# take the two other partitions, another RAID 1 (set up as lvm)
+# create one volume group the same as the host
+# in that volume group, create two lvs one of them named root (ext3)
+# and one named swap (copy sizes, 10G root and 2G swap)
+# F11 will suggest ext4, DON'T USE IT.
+#   - New filesystem, so it's scary
+#   - The hosts can't mount it
+#   - Grub can't cope with it
