Your answer implied that if your box uses H/S RAID setup, you don't need
'--with-raid' which is not quite correct. Whereas using RAID_TYPE option might
improve data access speed if you put different chunks on different *physical
disks*, this option helps you break the 2G limit for the MyISAM data files on
OSs that don't support big files (like Linux with pre-2.4 kernel).
