Does the kernel that the CD boots with have RAID compiled into it?
If not, it would be nice to change this. The reason I'm asking this is
that partitions can be set to type "linux raid autodtect." If the
running kernel has RAID built-in, the kernel will scan the drives it
found for that partition type and automatically start RAID on them. As
such there's no need to run userland tools to start the RAID array, no
need to have configuration files handy whenever you restart a system
using a livecd. And livecd can more easily be used as a rescue CD that
way too if it's fully RAID aware and capable. Loading RAID as modules
makes this more difficult.
Right now, I believe they're built as modules. I suppose we could change
that, if Alexander, Justin or Thomas don't object. As reference, the
kernel config file for the CD is here:
