Re: O'Reilly RAID Book

In my opinion, the brief excerpt from the book that you can find on the 
O'Reilly sit I think -- or maybe it's a seperate article -- is a great intro to 
mdadm.  It's all you need to get started. Couldn't be easier. My suggestion is to 
make some practice partions and fool around with the commands for  a few 
hours. Mdadm is great.
