Installing EVMS gets you free support for MD too as well as a whole bunch of
other stuff (bad block relocation, file system snapshots, LVM etc. etc.). I
use it (v1.2.1) heavily and swear by it.

Hardware RAID doesn't require us to do anything - it's done in the hardware
:-). So the devices just appear to the kernel as SCSI or IDE disks.
