If the official installation guide states otherwise, we should fix that. please point me to the mistake/file a ticket. If community-maintained documentation is incorrect, fix it yourself. Patches to support softraid are always welcome. Things don't get improved by merely hoping for it. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14149 Dieter
