So it is possible. Others seem to disagree. /var is configured this way because I want to do some testing of MySQL and PostgreSQL performance for a web application which will have a lot of backend data to search on a regular basis. It's Linux software RAID at the moment but I'd be using a raid card once it goes live. I'm not worrying about data loss right now but need to know for the future if I can restore just /var from a backup if the disk with /boot, swap, / is still OK.
