Is it possible to get the 2MiB "bios boot" partition into raid1?
This seems to be the most vulnerable part of my setup.
should be no problem when you have the same partitioning on all disks, 
"BIOS boot" normally have no writes at boot time

RAID1 is handeled like a single disk at early boot

the only thing you need to do manually is install the bootloaer on all 
disks and don#t forget repeat it after replace one

the only thing i am not sure is the partition type, until now my setups 
are MBR and sda1 is a RAID1 over all 4 disks
