I highly recommend simply using ext3 for your Linux
setup. The 1 or 2 percent performance benefit that
you may get from raw partitions is way outweighed by
complexness of backups of the raw data.
either way:
First I would suggest you read the Linux RAID howto:

I bought a supermicro 6013p-t for the 4 sata raid hard drives support.
Unfortunately, it doesn't really have raid at all. So I'm forced to use
software raid. What I'd like to use is fedora core 2 with an innodb
filesystem on a software raid partition according to these instructions:
