Agreed (not that I'm implementing any of this stuff :-) The tricky part is for Thomas' ataraid-detect program to keep some information around when it has seen the first component of a RAID-0 but not the second (or vice-versa). It would be very inefficient to scan all known block devices every time a new one is added, although that brute-force method could be used just to get the program working at first. Once the whole idea has been tested and works properly (the ATARAID devices become available and function properly), the efficiency problem(s) could be addressed.
