Raid level one is a mirrored drive right?

That means that if you have set the raid up correctly, both drives are 
presented to the OS as one physical drive.

Partitioning would just be the same as a normal drive.


eg 


/boot           30Megs
swap                    512 Megs
/                       8gigs
/home           12gigs

whatever

I find it's easier for upgrades if you have a boot and a root and a swap, then 
you shouldn't run out of space on the root when upgrading to RH 7.4 or RH 8.0 
etc...
