I want to install a set of systems using software RAID1 with fai.   The RAID-ing 
method I've been using, for single dual-drive system installations needs a reboot, and 
then has an indefinite delay before completion.

I can write a script to detect when the delay ends (by parsing /proc/mdstat).  
However, in the documentation, I don't see a ready method for integrating reboots into 
the fai process.

So, I'm considering how to properly integrate these steps.  I imagine that I might 
have fai set the system up to reboot, and run some additional rc's.  Those rc's would 
take the system from boot, complete the RAID installation, and then remove themselves 
from the boot process.

Does this process fit with fai's method?  Has anyone else used fai to install RAID'ed 
systems, or other systems that require rebooting during the installation process?
