I've look at the files in:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/raid/alpha/raidtools-19981005-B-0.90.tar.bz2

and didn't find mdadd, mdcreate, mdstop, or mdrun,  I did find them in:

ftp://sweet-smoke.ufr-info-p7.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/md035.tar.gz

but had to hack it up a bit to compile on linux-2.1.125.

...here's the questions ;-)

1. I've created a raid-0 set with md035 tools that appears to
   work... is this safe?
2. Is there a way to do this using the raidtools?  When ever I try it says:
# raidstart /dev/md0
/dev/md0: Invalid argument
  or
# mkraid /dev/md0
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/loop1, 1024kB, raid superblock at 960kB
disk 1: /dev/loop2, 1024kB, raid superblock at 960kB
mkraid: aborted

This is with the example configuration called raid0.conf.sample
using /dev/loop1 and /dev/loop2 in place of the real disks.

I've just subscribed to this list...but have looked around and
couldn't find a FAQ to answer these tidbits. I apologize in advance
if this is asked every two days.

Thankyouthankyouthankyou,
