I'm not sure what you mean by 'run smooth' or 'handling as easy as people
want to make us think'... it is after all a filesystem layout rather than a

I setup the software raid with anaconda during the system install...
# tail -10 /etc/raidtab
raiddev /dev/md2
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
chunk-size 64k
persistent-superblock 1
nr-spare-disks 0
device /dev/sda4
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdb4
raid-disk 1
#
... and put the lvm stuff on top of it in post install...
# pvdisplay /dev/md2

... I realise that isn't very qualitative... but there's not much to say
about 'just works'. :)
M.
P.S. For instances of 'works' in the above message append 'for me'.
