Can squeeze boot when / is on an LVM over RAID1? Can it boot if /boot is on the LVM over RAID1? Or when /boot is on a nonRAID nonLVM partition but / is on an LVM over RAID?

The disks carrying the RAID also have small nonRAID nonLVM partitions that would be big enough for /boot, but not all of / -- hendrik
The usual practice is to put everything except /boot on LVM. /boot can theoretically go on LVM too, but it's simpler to leave it out/off of LVM. /boot can go on RAID, easily, though, and I always put it on a RAID 1 partition.
So, yes, squeeze can boot with / on LVM, whether over RAID or otherwise. Mark
