-====== 2 x 3TB + GPT + Grub2 + RAID + LVM + ENCRYPTION ======

-The idea is to have two harddrives in mirror mode with complete system encryption.
-For each harddrive we need a BIOS boot partition with grub core.img stuff in them. They have to be configured and installed (in grub) in such a way that each harddrive can boot from itself.
-I have decided to have the swap partitions not in any RAID configuration. Each harddrive will have a separated swap partition, each swap will be encrypted with a random key.
-The rest of the disk is the whole linux system (including /boot). This is going to be a RAID1 (copy) with a LVM on top (to allow future extension) and encryption on top.
-In each harddrive do the following:
-  * Create GPT partition table with gdisk. (Check that the alignment is to 2048-sectors for 4Kb harddrives, if not set it like that)
-  * Create a BIOS boot partition of 1MB (necessary for grub2 on GPT disks)
-  * Create a Linux swap partition (2G)
-  * Create a Linux RAID partition (the rest of space)
-Now in the first harddrive do:
-  * Create the Linux RAID1 device:
-  mdadm --create md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 -R /dev/sdf3 missing
-  * Replace "missing" for your second drive if its already connected.
-  * For some reason the drive is read only still:
-  md0 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sdf3[0]
-        ?????? blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_]
-  * Make it read/write
-  mdadm --readwrite /dev/md/md0
-  * Create an LVM2 logical block device on top of this RAID:
-  pgcreate /dev/md/md0
-  vgcreate soulrebel /dev/md/md0
-  lvcreate -l 100%VG -n root soulrebel
-  * Create a dm-crypt on top of the LVM:
