Description
It would be nice if we could add at least a simple mdadm support. It would be useful in server bootstrapping situations, and would nicely extend the possibilities around partition/LVM/mkfs.
p.s.: HW RAID controllers could also be supported separately via external modules, but probably mdadm could fit into the core functions.
