The Cartman installation guide walks you through doing a RAID based
installation. Rather than choosing "Linux native", you choose "Linux RAID"
for your partition type during the installation.. Once you do that, it's
pretty straight-forward. RH has been including (since 6.0) the newer RAID
patches, which don't require you to do the old mdstart|mdadd|mdrun stuff.
The new patches store the RAID info in the RAID itself, rather than only in
a text file. It also permits the RAID to be "autostarted"...
Note that I haven't done a Cartman RAID installation, just read about it
in the installation guide. My big test for Cartman is running Oracle 8i.
