I'm using 4 raid1 sets with /, /var, /data and swap.

The main reason I started with separate sets is that swapping to a raid
set results in problems where the raid set wasn't shut down properly on
reboot so it needs it parity rebuilt with each reboot.  From there is
seemed obvious to use separate sets for each filesystem too.
