When configuring RAID arrays, advanced users should be offered the
option to set the chunk size. And using ext3 or any other f/s which
knows a little about RAID, the stride= option check be set to the size
of a stripe, the number of data drives times the chunk size.
Booting a rescue or "Live-CD" and doing the partitioning will solve the
first, not the 2nd.
And finally, support for encrypted f/s would be nice, I guess using
dm-crypt to be portable, to allow vital things to be kept safe (/home,
databases, etc). More laptops would use crypto if the users could figure
out how!
