Well thanks, but I don't just want to "make more partitions". The purpose is to minimize the effort and time that would be required in various failure/recovery scenarios. If my /etc resides on raid, all the specific config stuff for my system is protected by being on the raid. Also, my raid is in a separate enclosure from the cpu, so if the computer itself dies, I want to be able to take the scsi interface card and raid enclosure over to an arbitrary computer and be up and running again with a minimum of hassle.
