I recently switched to these tools, I'd been using the 1999 ones
previously.  I run striped mirrors for /usr, I must (apparently)
manually start that meta-device as part of the startup scripts.  So
having raidstart and all it's pieces on the / partition is pretty
important.  Imagine my fun after a reboot told me that lilpopt was
unavailable for raidstart, thus I had no /usr and no way to do
anything about it within this machine (because libpopt is stored in
/usr/lib).  Fortunately, I had not upgraded all the other machines to
these newer tools.

Perhaps libpopt is misplaced on my system, or perhaps the raidtool
makefile doesn't expect a manual start raid array....

Any solutions?
