You don't need it with raidtools 0.90. Check out raidtab.sample. /etc/raidtab is
the only configuration file you need now.

Once you've got raidtab setup for your system and your disks partitioned
correctly, do "mkraid /dev/md?" for each raid array in your raidtab, or
"mkraid -a" to do them all together.
Have a look at the Software-RAID HOWTO in the raidtools package or at
http://ostenfeld.dk/~jakob/Software-RAID.HOWTO/. That includes all the necessary
instructions for a basic RAID setup.
