software raid on / ?

Hello

I have two identical hard discs, and i would like to use them in mirror
raid for / partition.
I looked in handbook, but there were examples of creating raid but on non
/ (non system partitions/disks). Is it possible to have / partition which
is mirrored on two different disks ?

Thanx
Michal
