Raid is pretty simple on Centos and all the underlying stuff should be
the same on ubuntu. For a raid1, make 2 matching partitions with fdisk,
setting the partition type to FD. Then use a command like:
mdadm --create /dev/mdX --auto=yes --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdX
/dev/sdX
with the X's replaced with appropriate numbers. Then make a file system
on /dev/mdX and add the entry in /etc/fstab to mount it at boot time.
I haven't run FreeNAS, but if you can install additional programs and
perl modules you should be able to use the tarball from sourceforge
without needed a special port.
