Thanks for all your reply!

But now I 'm a little bit confuse....

RAID md..... (mdadm, /proc/mdstat, init.d/mdmonitor, mdadm.conf, ecc)
RAID dm..... (dmraid, dmraid.static, /dev/dm-0, /dev/dm-1, ecc)

My kind of RAID is a Software Raid or hardare?

MD:
When I install Fc6 on this system, I must create a software raid on 2
disk. The system when boot see the raid device like /dev/md0 ecc (md..).
I can use the mdadm tools for manage the raid, and I have a service for
monitoring the raid state (mdmonitor) witch send to me a mail, and
open/close many time the cdrom, and print on all printers the problem,
and play some .ogg files, and ......

DM:
When I install F7 I see in anaconda the RAID done and I not see 2 disk
but one RAID. The system when boot see the raid
whit /dev/mapper/ddf1_raid1p1 device. I can use the dmraid tools for
monitoring the raid state. .... And the service for monitoring some kind
of problem? there is or not? I must build some shell to put in crontab
or inittab?

SMART:
Smart monitoring the disk state, and not the RAID state ... right?

Then:
How I can do for receive some type of warning when problems are
manifested on the RAID?

Many thanks to all...
