Sasha - this is an experienced user forum question, not a development question.
A number of IDE RAID controllers are supported by e-smith. I have had
great success with the 3ware Escalade 6400 which is recognised by the
kernel at install time, and has an excellent monitoring tool that emails
you when a disk dies and is configurable by a web manager (not part of the
e-smith manager).
