I doubt these meet the challenge, but I recently ran across: http://raider.sourceforge.net/ Raider is a tool to automate linux software raid conversion. It is able to convert a single linux system disk in to a software raid 1, 4, 5, 6 or 10 system in a two-pass simple command. and: http://salamander-linux.com/ The problem is that installing Linux onto a RAID array is non-trivial. None of the major linux distributions include an easy way to install Linux with RAID. ... Salamander is the solution. Salamander is a modified version of the default installer for Ubuntu Linux, Ubiquity. This modified installer allows users to easily install Ubuntu Linux onto a Software RAID array. A step in the right direction. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
