Comments on a raid howto for devil-linux

Hello community!

Might someone have a quick glance over my raid howto
for devil-linux? Just take aside that it's not for a normal
disk based distro and tell me if anything is really wrong.

  ftp://ftp.fl.priv.at/pub/devil-linux/RAID-HOWTO.txt

As background info, you might want to take a look at the
startup script:
  ftp://ftp.fl.priv.at/pub/devil-linux/0.5/etc/init.d/mountfs

Thanks for any feedback.

(sent to both the list and Friedrich, since I'm not sure if he's on the
list.  Replies to the list and not me, please)

Sure, I've looked over this, and made a bunch of comments.  A diff
between your copy and mine is attached to this email.  Anything that
begins with <GREG> is a comment from me, and not intended as an actual
change to the document.

You might want to look at the licensing of that document, though.  The
GFDL requires you to include a complete copy of the license along with
the document.  For a document this short, one of the other free licenses
might be better.

Last bit, do you mind if I borrow a few bits of this HOWTO for the
Linux-RAID FAQ?  I'd like to use the commands from your HOWTO in answer
to "4.2. So my RAID set is missing a disk, what do I do now?", as well
as a couple of new questions on testing failure of drives in a RAID
set.  If that's OK, let me know what information you'd like in the
revision history, and I'll make sure you get credit.  
	Greg
