The doc's aren't too up to date...
You need to download the latest raidtools (I think RH 6 comes with 0.90-2,
0.90-3 is the latest and available from their site as an RPM). You also
need the latest Kernel patch for RAID... The newest RAID uses mkraid,
raidstart, raidstop, raidhotremove, raidhotadd and raidsetfaulty.
I believe the latest raid kernel patches are at ftp.us.kernel.org under
linux/daemons/alpha (someone jump in here if i'm wrong!)
