Thanks Paul. I think the article looks great. I would like to know how you got
the double-dash's "--" to keep from being merged into a long dash. I have
several places where I wanted the double dash, but Wordpress kept "correcting"
me.

Yup, makes sense. By the way, I do happen to know a way to test RAID
stuff, just in case you get the yen to play around. You can make a
couple large files, assign loop block devices to them, and treat them
like disks:
$ sudo -i
# for i in {0..3}; do dd if=/dev/zero of=diskfile$i bs=1M count=1024
conv=noerror,sync ; done
# for i in diskfile* ; do losetup -f $i ; done
Now you have /dev/loop0 through /dev/loop3 that you can treat like
/dev/sd{a,b,c,d} and make an array. When you're done, just:
# losetup -D
# rm -f diskfile{0..3}
