this is all fine (and i agree with the rest), but could you please quit
bashing the RAID code?
$ cat /etc/raidtab
# Sample RAID-1 configuration
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
chunk-size 4
device /dev/hda1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/hdb1
raid-disk 1
'mkraid /dev/md0', and there it goes the 2-disk mirror. Or maybe it's
easier to get a degree in astrophysics than i thought? ;)
