As a side note, I will say Webmin has a pretty decent interface for managing md RAID sets. I was skeptical at first, but I used Webmin to create a 5 disk RAID-5 array on my CentOS server, and it worked without a hitch! Webmin even has features that show RAID status, formatting and mounting RAID partitions, etc.
