Agree.

However, I personally use a much smaller root, say 1G or less, and
then have /usr, /var (and possibly some others depending on the
purpose of the machine) inside LVM.

I have avoided LVM mirroring because as far as I am aware the
machine would not come up entirely without human intervention if a
drive would be lost - please correct me if I am wrong there..

Cheers,
Andy
