Anyone have access to dmraid storage hardware?  I'm interested to know
how the latest anaconda looks in a dmraid storage setup.

If you have any experiences to share, please drop them into the wiki
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_11_RC_Install_Test_Results#Storage_Devices) under the dmraid test case [1] or feel free to reply here.

Thanks,
James
