It means that the mysqld has the ability to split the .MYD (datafile) intto
several datafiles (in several sub directories).

No you dont. If you have a the raid setup by other HW or SW you dont need to
use the --with-raid.
You can read more about it in the manual chapter 7 (I think) on CREATE TABLE
(and some other places aswell)
THis issue has been up several times before, so if you look into the archive
about big tables you will find more info about it aswell.
