I don't think that this is correct. I am running 2.2.12 with the 0.90
raid tools and I have a set of 5 18G disks with 7 partitions on each
disk and 7 different RAID5 spread across the disk set. They are all
configured and running just fine.
It does exhibit strange limitations when you run it with on 16MB of
memory though. (My server needed to be told how much memory it had.)
