You don't need all of that...
With mdadm can you put your RAID array as persistent. If it is
persistent your kernel can use the autodetect function and build it
before mount /
I have in my raidtab
# cat /etc/raidtab
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
chunk-size 4k
persistent-superblock 1
nr-raid-disks 2
device /dev/sda2
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdb2
raid-disk 1
After that I built it I use any tools expect, as you, RAID support built
in kernel
