[linux-lvm] Is is possible to have "boot" and "/" in LVM on top of SW RAID5?

[Luca Berra]

you cannot have /boot on top of sw raid 5. fullstop.
create a 4-way mirror + spare at the beginning of each device
and use the rest for raid5+spare use the first raid1 for /boot and the
rest for lvm.
i have been using this setup without any problem for about 2 years.
