raid 1 setup with setup_harddisks by Sam Vilain

[Sam Vilain]

:-/ It looks like it gets most of the way there - modulo what look
like harmless errors (given that the mke2fs, etc works) - and then is
not writing a complete fstab.

How's your Perl?  Do you think you can debug the script with `perl
-d'?  My refactoring saw (I hoped) some improvements in the
readability of the code, so it should be a bit easier.

What the script really needs is a test suite for it, that feeds inputs
like this in, simulates what disks are found in the system with which
configuration, and checks that the script did the right thing.  So
that the script can be tested without necessarily running on the
system with the problem.

That way, it might also stand some chance of being accepted by the
core FAI team.

Unfortunately I can't spend any time on this, I'm flat out at the
moment!  I will, however, agree to review any changes you care to make
for sanity and include them in the version on my site.
