I think many folks are interested in upgrading to EXT4 with RAID  from 
an ordinary JBOD workstation(server); or better yet to ZFS on RAID. I wish
one of the brighter minds amongst us would put out a skeleton 
(wiki) information page as such:

http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ZFS+RAID

I know I have struggled with completing this sort of installation
several time in the last 6 months. I'm sure this (proposed) wiki page
would get lots of updates from the Gentoo user community. Surely,
I'm not qualified to do this, or it would have already been on the
gentoo wiki....

Much of the older X + RAID pages are deprecated, when one considers
the changes that accompany such an installation ( Grub2, UUID, fstab,
partitioning of drives, Kernel options, just to name a few). We're 
talking about quite a bit of deviation from the standard handbook
installation, fraught with hidden, fatal mis-steps.

Lord knows the Gentoo doc team wold appreciate such a wiki installation
guide, as the handbook is undergoing modernization.

just a thought.
