Comment	Can't figure anything out from this website or from raidutils deb package/docs on how to get this to work, so I can only tell if a drive has failed during bootup. Which is funny because I normally have uptimes of 3-6 months between boots. This site and the raidutils deb package may make it sufficient for a sys admin to figure out how to get everything working, but for a Linux newbie (less than 5 years full-time desktop user) under my belt, I don't have a clue how to get this working. Don't have the /dev/i20 devices in /dev. Maybe I have to start with making those devices. But without being sure, I'm not mucking around with this. Keep it a secret. Keep out the riffraff. Ready for the desktop?
Reporter	lists1, google the debian-user or testing archives
