The only problem I can see is that your bitmap is not on a RAID device 
so if the disc goes you lose the bitmap. I guess you're accepting the 
risk of downtime anyway because your filesystem root is on a non-RAID 
device, but while you can (as I think you've said before) replace the 
boot disc quickly, you're exposing yourself to a long, slow resync which 
will increase your downtime by perhaps days...

Cheers,

John.
