I don't recall exactly how I created the raid setup. I used the alternate CD
and set it up during install. It acted like it was working but I got
concerned when the second drive always seemed empty.

mdstat gives

Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
[raid10]
md1 : active raid1 sda2[0]
      19534976 blocks [1/1] [U]

md0 : active raid1 sda1[0]
      291017344 blocks [1/1] [U]

unused devices: <none>

There should be three partitions. One large on for /home, one for / and a
2GB one for swap. I think that output is describing /home and / (by the sda1
and sda2 tags). I'm not sure when I would have a chance to go to a CLUE
installfest. I'm not opposed to trying to get this working - I just don't
know how. I also thought hardware raid would be a better way to go and maybe
more reliable and less resource intensive.
