It still has some bugs. The old version w/ 0.42 tools runs fine, just 
doesn't have the bells and whistles.

I've got root raid running on 3 production 2 - ide and 1 scsi. All have 
had drive failures at one time or another. They continue to run and 
reboot without difficulty. I really like the new features, but it appears 
that there are still a few gotcha's here and there.
