raidutils seems to be half-baked. Our raid0 didn't come up. Looking in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit it's clear that they look for whether or not /sbin/raidadd is executable, but raidadd is no longer included in the raidtools. I thought that changing raidadd to raidstart would fix things, but it didn't. I need to investigate more. The man page for raidstart lists raidstart twice under a heading of "Avaible commands" (Availible is misspelled). The documentation for raidtools refers to the old "md"-named apps I poked around in the documentation and the source code and still wasn't able to get our raid0 running, even though it was running fine before upgrading from Red Hat 5.2 to beta 5.8.1.1.
you have added raidtools-0.90 which needs a kernel patch for 2.2.x forn ftp.kernel.org/pub/daemons/raid/alpha/raid0145... but when I include this patch to my kernel spec it breaks because of the DAC960 patches. I have moved back to raid-0.50beta which works for me.
I have noticed that this has been assigned for a long time, wanted to get some juices flowing again... Recently the RAID people released a new version of the patch which is much easier to get cleanly applied onto the more current kernels (since 2.2.4 made some major modifications to some of the functions involved). This patch is for 2.2.6 however, but might go well onto 2.2.5 (it should work better than the 2.2.3 patch anyway). On 2.2.7 there is only one reject which is really easy to fix in case there are any plans on upgrading the kernel packages any time soon... hint, hint... wink, wink... :)
fixed before 6.0
