We currently use Raid-0 on RH5.0, not difficult at all. I got the tools from
the address in the mini-HOWTO, but there might be an rpm on sunsite.
The order of play after this is.....
mdadd /dev/md0 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdc3
mdrun -p0 /dev/md0
...first time around...
mke2fs /dev/md0
...
mount /dev/md0 /home
I've added these to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit - the mdadd and mdrun just before
the filesystem check so that the partition is checked, and an entry in fstab
to mount it.
I'm not sure on the setup of Raid-1 but at least it's a pointer.
ps. Have you got the kernel-headers rpm loaded? I think recompiling the
tools will require it but not the kernel source.
Hope this helps, or at least clears the view a little.....
