http://www.1U-Raid5.net/HowTo/SW-Raid-HOWTO.txt
== my raid test ...
- unplug /dev/hda ... and try to boot ( into degraded mode )
- unplug /dev/hdc ... and try to boot
- it should still boot w/o any intervention/typing
- copy a 2TB file to the raid disks ... unplug the disk to
simulate a crash ...
- swap in a new disks ... see if it resyncs
and that 2TB file is same as the original one
- if you lsot data or can't boot... it's not a properly
configured "raid"
