Paul,

I have a 4x250Gb machine with disk 0 and 3 as raid pair. My fstab looks
like this:

/dev/md0         /boot           ext3            noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/md2         /               reiserfs        noatime 0 0
/dev/md1         none            swap            sw 0 0
/dev/vg/usr      /usr            reiserfs        noatime 0 0
/dev/vg/var      /var            reiserfs        noatime 0 0
/dev/vg/tmp      /tmp            reiserfs        noatime 0 0
/dev/vg/opt      /opt            reiserfs        noatime 0 0
/dev/vg/home     /home           reiserfs        noatime 0 0
