perfect
besides, mdadm is also packaged and contained within devel tarball.

exactly.
in fact this would be a really cool feature and i already begun
integrating it for more than one time, but not finished it.

one of the problems is, that i would like to replace the old
ipcop-installer code which seeks possible target harddisks with a short
kudzu call but don't know how kudzu names devicenames if there is a raid
controller (relative to /dev with a subdirectory, like ida/c0d0, or
without the subdirectory).
i assume relative to /dev, but this eventually breaks installations with
raid controllers.

next problems are how to notice if a disk fails and how to configure
grub () in order to do a fallback to the second disk if it fails to boot
from the first disk. i know it's possible, but tricky to implement,
since grubby (which will be called by rpm as a %post hook of the kernel
package during upgrade) cannot update more than one grub target at once.
