Please post any results to the list.  I''d like to know if it is
possible to set up a RAID1 mirror between an internal IDE and
and an identical drive in a external USB/Firewire and have
the RAID recognized at boot time.  (I''m using FC1 now and
have to rebuild the raid manually after a reboot).  I''d also
like to be able to break the RAID and access the external drive
via USB on another machine.   Since the centos4 release notes
mention USB hard drives not working, I haven''t tried this
yet.  Does the same limitation apply to firewire?
