Hopefully not??
The purpose of hardware raid is to keep control of the physical word on the controller, and have the rest of the computer see and worry about the logical world the controller gives you.

I've not done a lot of hardware raid on Linux, but on the few boxes I have used, all RH sees are the volumues we created in the raid-setup process - NOT the individual drives. I know utilities for Windows exist where you can query the status of the controller - which of course allows you to see a list of the physical world - but from the kernels perspective it only sees the the logical volumes.

I'm not sure if RH8 has a utility to view/setup the raid controller - the ones I've tried doesn't. Hopefully that will changed in the future.
