When I implemented this, and RAID-5, using the Linux software RAID
layer, I had to do the following:

1. add 'mdadm' to the FAI pre-install area on the server.
2. write a partition.CLASS hook that did:
   3. use fdisk to partition the disk as desired
   4. use mdadm to create the MD device
   5. use mke2fs to create the filesystem

There was no easy way to do this with the FAI tools as supplied, at
least with the version in Debian/stable.
