I'm going to read this HOWTO on the trip to work (I've got an hour on
the bus), and contact the author sometime today and see if I can get him
to submit it to the LDP.  I'd really like to be able to post this as a
replacement for the old software RAID howto, since 98% of the people on
usenet are reading the old one, and finding that it's totally obselete.
