People keep talking about the "Build in degraded mode" option I
understand it's a patch against the 0.90 release (not in the standard
patch).
If this somthing that's likley to change any time soon? If we're talking
about a 2.2 merge is this somthing that still might make it in or not?

IFF you can make space at the end of the FS, yes.
You can:
1) resize2fs the ext2 FS to make space.

What about lower end start-ups? Say, if I have one drive, and I just
managed to get a second drive, so I'd like to start mirroring (RAID1)

Probably not until I migrate to the new raid tools. I did all this
with the 0.42 tool set and am waiting for the current stuff to
stabalize a little

Note that for the fancy / clean way of doing this (rather than just ZAPPing
the partition type, the SB or some such) needs patches to the patches ...

Any chance of you providing a 'cookbook' on howto do this? Just an
illustration of the commands to execute and what to do in what order?
I think we could all use this, and I for one am planning on doing this

I am running out of space on my root device and
am thinking of adding another scsi disk using Raid - linear or 0 (whichever is
the easiest!). Is software Raid as fearsome as all the docs I read suggest?
