I thought the mdraid software raid drivers supported the intel RST
(formerly Matrix) fake raid ? the major difference is, with RST/Matrix,
the whole disk has to be mirrored then partitioned, while mdraid
normally does mirroring on a per partition basis. the other difference
is the raid metadata block, but I thought mdraid understood how to
interpret the intel RST/Matrix stuff ?
