It's an experimental setup. It uses a 80 GByte SSD for / and
vservers, and mirrors the 80 GByte to a 1 TByte WD RE3 drive
as I've empirically learned that SSDs are not long for this
world. The rest of the 1 TByte drive is for /home for the
vservers.
I would have used a dedicated root if I had a 160 GByte SSD.

Thank you. I should really try reading documentation sometime.
