Getting RAID to properly autodetect isn't trivial, which is probably why they decided to get that working for them if anyone needed it.

NAME
raidstart, raidstop, - command set to manage md devices. SYNOPSIS
raidstart [options] <raiddevice>* raidstop [options] <raiddevice>* DESCRIPTION
RAID devices are virtual devices created from two or more real block devices. This allows multiple disks to be combined into a single filesystem, possibly with automated backup and recovery. Linux RAID devices are implemented through the md device driver. If you're using the /proc filesystem, /proc/mdstat gives you informations about md devices status. Currently, Linux supports linear md devices, RAID0 (striping), RAID1 (mirrroring), and RAID4 and RAID5. For information on the various lev- els of RAID, check out: http://ostenfeld.dk/~jakob/Software-RAID.HOWTO/ for new releases of the RAID driver check out: ftp://ftp.fi.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/raid/alpha Avaible commands are : mkraid : configures (creates) md (RAID) devices in the kernel, banding multiple devices into one. raidstart : activates (starts) an existing 'persistent' md device raid0run : activates old nonpersistent RAID0/LINEAR md devices raidstop : turns off an md device, and unconfigures (stops) it By default, a systems RAID configuration is kept in /etc/raidtab, which can configure multiple RAID devices. All of these tools work similiarly. If -a (or --all) is specified, the specified operation is performed on all of the RAID devices men- tioned in the configuration file. Otherwise, one or more RAID devices must be specified on the command line. For example: raid0run -a Starts all of the 'old' RAID0 RAID devices specified in /etc/raidtab. If only /dev/md1 should be started, the following command should be used instead: raidstart /dev/md1 OPTIONS
-a, --all Apply the command to all of the configurations specified in the config file. -c, --configfile filename Use filename as the configuration file (/etc/raidtab is used by default). -h, --help Displays a short usage message, then exits. -V, --version Displays a short version message, then exits. NOTES
The raidtools are derived from the md-tools and raidtools packages, which were originally written by Marc Zyngier, Miguel de Icaza, Gadi Oxman, Bradley Ward Allen, and Ingo Molnar. BUGS
no known bugs. SEE ALSO
