-RAID 1 and monitor it with mdadm.  The plan is to sync up RAID health with
-SNMP monitoring.

-This is a very good tutorial on

-it for the step by step RAID install.
-
-The idea is to create 3 partitions:
-        * / (root) where all the OS etc files go
-        * /FILES where all the documents go
-        * Swap The necessary swap partition
-        
-On a 500 GB drive I propose doing this :
-        * /FILES = 430 GB
-        * Swap = 4 GB (swap is conventionally 2X RAM, a swap this size may not 
-        be necessary with 2 GB of RAM and for use as a file server
-        * / = <leftover space>
-
-In order to create the software RAID, you first create regular primary
-partitions on the first disk (SDA) as in the following:
-
-{{{
-select: Partition Disk Manually
-select: Device SDA1
-Create new empty partition table on this device: yes
-Select Free Space (pri/log): <per size of the disk>
-select: Create new primary partition
-Mount point: /
-Bootable Flag: on
-Use as: Select Physical Volume For RAID
-select: Done Setting up partition
-}}}
-
-And then you create an MD device from each partition.

-Again, see the [http://ubuntuadministrator.com/?p=3ubuntu RAID tutorial] 
-as it explains exactly how to do this step by step.
