I have written a howto on our linux raid page, that exactly advocates a way to with 2 drives use these 2 drives for multiple partitions, of different types of RAID. The partitions include /boot / /home and swap - which are actually all allocated as RAID partitions on the same 2 drives. See http://linux-raid.osdl.org/index.php/Preventing_against_a_failing_disk I am trying to advocate that this be a recommended setup for normal workstations, to for the price of one extra harddisk get additional safety and performance. My take is that Linux RAID code is so stable, including in the degarded mode, that this is robust and stable. However, there are still bugs to be found, so you can never be 100 % sure.
